rokull, or rocky, is aware that he looks 'different' from other muds, but it doesn't bother him when the rest of his family also look strange and unique themselves. as far as he's concerned, when he holds his hand up to the moon he shares the same number of fingers. he is a mudellan before anything else, a point of pride picked up from his mother. it would be some time before he really starts to question why his mother is so protective of him, or why he occasionally makes his uncle flinch. it would be even longer before he learns the truth of what he is, and why his adopted family concluded that he should grow up never knowing the butchers that he came from.

as a discarded specimen, it is unlikely that the conglomerate would pay attention to his existence. but as an unmodified vykker, the material proof of what they used to be, there is always a risk that they may one day come to collect.

ive been sitting on the 'howler's adopted unmodified vykker baby' part of post-arc canon for a month now

vykkers without their extensive surgical alterations and lifespan extending procedures are like triped alien sloths to me
