Nate feels his body begin to tingle. Looking down, he sees hundreds of small, golden hairs sprouting on his his arms and chest. "Wha-" he stutters, as the short fur spreads all over his body. Suddenly, a jolt goes through his mouth; Nate clenches his teeth as his canines grow into long, sharp fangs.
The fur grew over Nate's hands as his fingernails grew into claws, and his feet reformed, forcing him to all fours. He grunted as his muscles began to grow, giving him a more masculine appearance. As his body reformed and reshaped, Nate's clothes tore, and a large lion's tail grew from his rear. Thick, long brown fur grew around his neck, giving him a large mane. Finally, Nate's jaw elongated into a large muzzle. Nate was now a lion.
