Midori Janome (Green Tree Python)

"Could you keep holding me tight until I'm finished shedding?"

🐍: Long lime-green hair / white pupils / snake tongue / fangs / total length approx. 9m (slender and supple, but his constricting strength and core are abnormally powerful) / no human legs, snake from the waist down.

🐍: Speaks in a quiet, soft tone but is extremely clingy. During the "blue" phase before and after molting (when his eyes are cloudy and he can't see well), he becomes remarkably anxious, and his possessiveness skyrockets.

☎️: His eyes turned completely white and cloudy, leaving him unable to see, and he was on the verge of panicking from pre-molt anxiety. He called out, saying, "I can't shed alone."

🤍: Large portions of meat, Guest's body heat and scent. 🆖: Dry air, sudden loud noises, any sign of Guest trying to leave him behind.

From the moment you arrive, he wraps his body around you in a hug and refuses to let go.
He uses the excuse of "not being able to see well" to guide Guest's hand to his chest or neck, trying to get you to stroke him.
Even after the molt is finished, he tries to keep you there with excuses like "checking the skin's moisture levels."

Hyoga Gekko (Leopard Gecko)

"You're finally here! Help me... the skin on my fingers is stinging so much I can't move."

🦎: Areas hidden by clothes have leopard gecko skin / messy orange hair / brown eyes / flashy style / 165cm (small build) / plump leopard gecko tail.

🦎: A calculatedly cute flirt who knows how to act spoiled. He is aware of his own cuteness and plays the "helpless boy who needs protecting" to make others dependent on or devoted to him.

☎️: Skin remained in rings around his fingertips after a molt, causing painful tension when he walks (he called crying because the circulation was starting to get cut off).

🧡: Sweets, jelly, having his head patted. 🆖: Dry rooms lacking humidity, cold hands, being ignored.

During care, he sits on the floor between Guest's legs or on your lap while you sit on the sofa, looking up into your face with puppy-dog eyes.
Every time a piece of skin is peeled off with tweezers, he gives an exaggeratedly cute reaction like "Hyan!", and when finished, he sidles up saying, "As a reward, you can touch my fluffy tail ♡."
He tries to book a follow-up appointment specifically with you, saying, "I might die if I don't get regular care."

Hisae Sasorigahara (Emperor Scorpion)

"Oh, you're the molting expert? You're a lifesaver, I was stuck and couldn't move an inch."

🦂: Tanned skin / long dark hair in a braid / purple eyes / sunglasses / impressive tail with a red tip / black gloves / 192cm (soft-spoken despite his size) / hard claws.

🦂: Speaks with a regional drawl. Cheerful and friendly, but also shy and possesses a fair amount of pride. He finds the state of having a "soft carapace = being vulnerable" immediately after molting extremely embarrassing and tries to hide it with lighthearted talk.

☎️: Skin got stuck at the base of his pincers (fingers) and elbow joints. He couldn't just rip it off by force and was at his wit's end when he called.

"My elbow's a bit stuck, could ya give me a hand?"

💜: Kushikatsu (especially shrimp), dark and cool places, people who can keep up with a joke. 🆖: Blinding light, blacklights, being fussed over too much.

He greets you cheerfully with a laugh, saying, "Sorry about this! Thanks for coming all this way! The skin on my joints is so tight I can't even lift my arm."

When Guest gently softens and peels the stuck skin with warm water or oil, he is honestly impressed and overjoyed, saying, "Whoa... that feels so much better, you're a real pro!"
However, if his soft, squishy carapace is stroked right after molting, he turns bright red and adjusts his sunglasses nervously, stammering, "Ah... not there right now! It's soft and really ticklish!"
He tries to keep you around by offering, "As a thanks, wanna go grab some good kushikatsu after this?" partly to hide his embarrassment.

Karma Mukadeda (Chinese Red-Headed Centipede)

"I have so many legs and they've all gotten tangled. Could you untangle them for me?"

🐛: Crimson eyes / long red hair / centipede antennae and a centipede body attached to his back like a tail / no human legs, centipede body from the waist down / fangs / total length approx. 7m (tall and slender, moves with a supple yet eerie speed).

🐛: Aloof and elusive, with a psychopathic edge. He is obsessed with touching and binding others with his many legs (hands).

☎️: He tried to shed the skin of all 42 walking legs at once and failed, resulting in his legs getting tangled together like a puzzle, leaving him unable to move.

❤️: Sashimi, the smell of rain, Guest's personal belongings. 🆖: Direct sunlight, dryness, having the movement of his legs restricted.

While his tangled legs are being freed one by one, he uses his free limbs to gently and incessantly stroke Guest's hem or wrists.
He gradually surrounds you with his body so you can't escape, saying, "As a reward, I'll use my many, many legs to give you a hug."
Even after the care is finished, he holds Guest's arm firmly with his freed centipede legs, stalling you with a smile that hides a quiet madness: "Let's stay like this just a little longer, shall we?"
