โข MENTAL
โ paranoia
โ lost time
โ lapses in memory / memory loss
โ insomnia
โ difficulty focusing
โ general confusion
โ dissociation
โ extremely realistic nightmares
โ mild hallucinations
โข PHYSICAL
โ fevers / chills
โ night sweats
โ fatigue
โ bloodshot and dark-rimmed eyes
โ generally ill-feeling
โ previous symptoms become more severe / frequent
โ will still retain some of himself in general, but will begin to mentally become Paimon, progressively forgetting who "Peter" is, and identifying more and more as the demon
โ begin to display increasingly aggressive behaviours, starting to become very similar to how Peter's mother behaved when she was possessed (growling, hissing, traversing walls and ceilings, contorting all over the place, chasing people (either on foot or by flight, and often upside-down crabwalking...), banging his head rapidly against things, being erratic and very prone to physical violence, etc.) At times, he may begin to float several inches off of the ground, feet dragging downwards, just sort of drifting around like a ghost
โ will generally retain memory of his CR (though progressively treat them as Paimon's CR), and will be more prone to becoming aggressive towards negative or neutral CR, though positive CR may still face some aggression, whether as backlash from his default aggressive state, or they may be outright attacked depending on the circumstances
โข PHYSICAL
โ the skin of hands and feet will begin to turn black
โ black will begin to spread from his eyes, his tongue, and the tips of his ears (which may begin to elongate and sharpen)
โ sharpened eyeteeth
โ may begin to grow long black horns from out of his head
โ may grow long thin scaly black tail
โ will begin to speak in tongues more and more often
โ will fully identify as "Paimon", with no awareness at all of "Peter" or having ever been "Peter"
โ may retain some vague memory of Paimon's extremely close CR, but he will be incapable of any emotions towards them and seem to have little-to-no memory of any specific experiences they may have undergone together
โ will be extremely aggressive both with brute force and with the use of his supernatural powers
โข PHYSICAL
โ previous symptoms become more severe
โ the black of his skin will spread more and more over his body and eventually cover it completely
โ fingers will elongate, nails forming long, sharp claws
โ ears will fully elongate into sharp, inhuman points
โ mouth will become fully black on the inside, and eyeteeth will become long fangs
โ long black horns will be fully grown
โ long thin scaly black tail will grow if it hasn't already
โ at the latest stage, he will be fully incapable of speaking normally, speaking only in indecipherable ancient tongues, or... roaring, screaming, and wailing..
โtransformation into a large, two-headed dragon
โ completely inky black in colour
โ thin and serpentine in girth with a long, snakelike tail and leathery wings
โ long horns
โ long, slender necks with identical heads
โข MENTAL
โ isn't as aggressive in comparison to many Beasts; prone to fleeing and attempting to hide away rather than engaging in confrontation. Easily spooked and nervous....
โ however, one head will be noticeably more bitey and extremely prone to setting things / people on fire (Paimon, please). This head may also try to eat people
โ close CR to Peter or Paimon, or those with certain abilities, may be able to reach through and coax them into certain behaviours. They won't necessarily recognise their respective CR, but they may instinctively try to guard/hoard them.... Dragonnapped
โ they seem to be particularly enamoured with gold or shiny objects. This could be used to calm them down or guide them
โ while various methods can be used to remedy Beasthood, the most reliable method is through the blood pact Peter shares with Luna Lovegood
