Author's Note: Grian has a rumbly in his tumbly that only meat can satisfy.

 Grian's POV:

 My entire body was sore as I opened my hurt eyes. There was an odd pain in my whole body, " I walked around ways to much yesterday...." I groaned as I rolled onto my stomach.

 I curled up as the sound of rockets made me shudder. Why was it so loud?

 " Grian, Doc told me to come fetch you because- OH MY GOODNESS!" Mumbo landed and fell down onto his back. 

 I stood up and wobbled slightly as I covered myself with my blanket. It felt like I was going to fall at any moment.

 Mumbo stared at me in shock and terror, " Mums what's wrong mate?" I cocked my head to the side, " You look like you saw a ghost." I let out a small laugh. 

 The taller architech stood up and walked over to me. Was he standing taller than usual. Mumbo took my blanket off of me and threw it onto the bed.

 " Have you looked in a mirror yet?" Mumbo questioned as I shook my head. Mumbo took my claw- 

 Wait what?

 I looked down at my red claws. Did those potions turn me into a hybrid?

 I looked down at my red creeper legs and back at my little nub tail, " Oh god.... I'm a creeper now...." I sighed as the tail twitched. Mumbo frowned slightly.

 Mumbo helped me into a new short sleeved shirt and got the rags of my pajama pants off. The two of us looked at each other.

 I let out a small hiss in disturbance as I clenched and unclenched my hands, " How did this happen?" Mumbo asked as I walked over to my chest and gathered my gear. I held up the book. 

 My tail kept twitching as I held up the book, " This should be the answer.... We need to get to Doc and Ren.... I have a feeling that they've been affected to." I put the book into my bag. 

 I took a step forward and yelped when I fell down onto my clawed hands and feet. 

 Mumbo let out a snicker as I hissed at him. I stood back up and immediately fell over again. How does Doc do this on a daily basis? I walked around on all fours for a while bit as Mumbo sighed.

 " Come 'ere." Mumbo scooped me up as I twitched slightly, " TAIL TAIL TAIL!" I cried out as he shifted his arms. I stared at him, " Sorry! Sorry! I... I'm not used to carrying people with tails...." he frowned as I crossed my arms.

 " You're fine Mumbo...." I sighed as I rubbed at the small nub. The two of us looked at each other. I yawned and licked at my incredibly sharp canines. 

 Mumbo exited my base and took off into the sky. I continued to lick at my canines as my stomach growled slightly. There was this odd feeling in me. I wanted food.... Not just bread....

 I wanted something alive and moving. I wanted to kill something and eat the meat off its bones.

 Man, I desperately needed to get the cure for this before I lose it. This weird craving was going to bug me so badly. 

 We landed outside the stock exchange building. Mumbo looked down at me cautiously, " You look hungry Gree...." he frowned as I nodded.

 Mumbo put me down, " Let's try walking...." Mumbo smirked slightly as I grabbed a hold of his hand. He flinched slightly as I retracted my hand. 

 " Snap claws...." he mumbled as we both sighed. I clenched my fist slightly and let Mumbo grab a hold of my wrist. I wobbled for a bit as we reached the front door. My tail was twitching nervously as Mumbo knocked on the door.

 There was muzzled growling that came from the other side, " No, no! No scratching at the door!" Ren's harsh whispering from the other side. Mumbo knocked again. 

 " Don't come in! The... The stocks are closed!" Ren shouted. Mumbo and I looked at each other. Mumbo let go of my hand as I waddled over to the door. 

 " Ren! I need to talk to you about the potions!" I shouted causing a small gasp to come from to other side. 

 Ren opened the door and let an eye show through, " Oh my god. That..... That explains a lot." he opened the door. Mumbo and I looked at each other then at Ren. 

 He didn't have his ears nor his tail anymore.

 Ren was completely human. 

 Ren hurried us inside and looked around before closing the door, " You haven't told anyone about this yet?" Ren questioned as I shook my head. 

 " What's so bad about telling people?" Mumbo questioned as Ren crossed his arms, " We'd be the laughing stock of the server Mumbo. Grian's a creeper, Doc's a dog-man, and I'm..... just me." he sighed as he had us follow. 

 We entered Ren and Doc's shared room. Doc was biting at his tail. When we entered fully Doc stopped with his pointed ears down.

 " Oh my god.... That explains why Ren wasn't turned into a creeper hybrid....." Doc mumbled as he stood up. Doc was now standing at his full height, and he was even taller now that he had two fuzzy ears pointing straight into the air. 

 I waddled forward to be in the middle of the taller hermits. Doc looked down at me and scratched at his beard. He looked me over as his tail and ears twitched as he raised his eyebrow in curiosity. 

 There was a new boiling feeling within me. My quills started to stand up as I hissed at Doc when took my hand and looked at my scales and black claws. 

 " Doc, I don't think doing that is a good idea...." Mumbo whimpered as Doc shrugged, " I've dealt with Python when he was shedding. Grian shouldn't be that big of a deal...." he mused.

 I hissed at him more as the burning desire to bite his arm rose. My tail twitched in irritated as I continued to hiss louder. 

 Ren let out a sigh, " Doc stop before yo-" 

 I tried to bite into Doc's fleshy, warm arm, but he quickly moved my head over to his cyborg arm. I dug my teeth into his arm and hissed at him loudly. My leg kicked and tail twitched as I kept biting him. 

 Doc frowned slightly, " Well, he's both agitated and hungry...." he looked towards Ren and Mumbo. I kept biting and clawing at him.

 " Ren, go to my chest and get out that plastic container with the mice in it." Doc ordered as his tail twitched. Ren nodded and opened a chest and picked up a small, frozen mouse.

 I stared at the mouse and took my mouth off of Doc's arm.

 Food. 

 Ren walked over to me and handed me the small mammal. I looked at Doc, " What do I do?" I mumbled as I finally let out a shaky breath.

 " You eat it." Doc quickly answered. 

 I bit into the mouse and tore at it. It.... It weirdly felt good. I.... I actually enjoyed it. I kept eating the mouse until it was gone.

 Mumbo let out a grimacing sound as he flinched. He let out a heavy sigh, " Why do you just have a bag of frozen mice lyin' around?" he nervously questioned. Doc looked over at him, " In case I get hungry.... Python also comes by for some mice." 

 I sat down on the couch and looked at my claws. I looked up at the transformed hermits plus Mumbo.

 " We need to find the Jangler."
