love it when the nightmare hell dimension makes the guy worse
-his lips are usually bloody. this is because his jaw's deformed and teeth grown/shifted so that if he tries to close his mouth, he cuts his lips/gums. and even not counting that, he still can't close his mouth all the way.
-his left arm was almost severed. he knew he shouldve, but he couldn't quite bring himself to amputate it himself. a couple days later the sinews began growing out of his arm, sewing the wound closed. then they kept growing. his arm is still in there, but with the injury and extended disuse, it's extremely atrophied. the tendrils do most of the grabbing things.
-a decent amount of his left side is also stitched together by sinew tendrils. he doesn't know how much. he doesn't take his armor off to check.
-he can't get what's left of his boots off. he's tried. they're too tight. he can't get them off.
-the not-really-wings are rotting from the moment they burst out of his back, steadily losing movement capability as they decay. they can become so rotten that it starts poisoning the rest of him. eventually they fall off, if he hasn't chopped them off himself by then, and the cycle begins again, horrible tertiary limbs growing against his spine to burst free when they get too big to be contained by his skin.
-the fingers of his right hand don't have nails, the fingers have just gotten sharper, some sort of carapace-like toughening of the skin. it gets darker, harder, sharper the more he soaks it in blood.
-he doesn't remember losing his old ax. he doesn't remember picking up the new one. he doesn't know why this one feels so much more comfortable in his withered hand. it's the same ax.
-a lot of the changes were slow and painful. his toes pushing against his boots. muscles twisting and tearing to form into sinews. persistent back pain before the wings ruptured out. The tail just appeared. he realized with digitigrade legs, he'd be able to run a lot faster, but he was missing a counterweight to keep his balance to do that. and then one day he woke up and he had a tail and he hates it.
-hes still trying to go home
-he still thinks he can go home
-he still wants to go home
-he doesn't realize he doesn't have a home to go back to
-he doesn't realize he did this himself
