A tail. It's curly and fluffy like a shiba inu's, with white fur on the underside and red on top. Which means, of course, that Fuyuhiko hates it. Especially since this is the first solid proof he's gotten that he isn't actually a wereWOLF. Like his elbows, ankles, and neck, the same curly, gold-flecked fur can be found at the base of his tail and will grow gradually into flame-like fur. When the sun goes down, his tailbone elongates and rips through his skin, quickly regrowing muscle, flesh, and fur over it but not without splattering blood all over the place first.
Longer arms. These serve to make running on all fours much easier. Which, thanks to his digitigrade feet is much easier than trying to run on two legs. Though Fuyuhiko isn't exactly fond of the idea of running like an animal, so for the most part, he'll probably stubbornly try to run like a person save for instances of particularly dire circumstances.
Gradual changes:
Post-transformation fatigue. This has been gradually evolving over the past month or so, starting out as nighttime restlessness. However, now Fuyuhiko has begun to experience the other side of the coin, so to speak.
Comforting instinct. One of the things that makes a dog "man's best friend" is their uncanny ability to know when a person is sick or sad. As time goes on, Fuyuhiko will find himself compelled to try and make people feel better when he finds them in these states. These compulsions will manifest mentally as a dog's idea of comforting (laying head on the person's lap, sitting on them, licking, etc) but with enough self control, he can resist this urges and substitute with a more human idea of comfort (listening, talking, spending time together, hugging).
Destructive tendencies. Shiba inus are a very energetic breed, and this not always a good thing. If Fuyuhiko finds himself particularly bored or lonely, he will begin itching to wreck havoc on household objects, be it shredding paper, tearing up pillows, or smashing small appliances. These urges will become more pervasive and harder to ignore as time goes on.
