Wyrm Form
Some adult Nel'oth are able to ascend and obtain a Wyrm form. This is caused by extreme hardship, and every Nel'oth’s experience is different. For some its mental, others its physical, or a combination of both. A trial has been made by elders of an ancient Sun+Moon tribe that has a high success rate. These trials can take from months to years to complete. However Nel'oths have a long lifespan so there is plenty of time.
These trials may result in changes to their character, such as their personality, or scars. Maybe your Nel'oth commemorates their new form with a celebration ritual with/without friends/family, or maybe getting new jewelry, piercings, tattoos, or crest modification (piercings, designer cuts akin to a human getting their tongue cut to look like a snake’s, or gauges).
There is a small subset group of Nel'oths that shun the Wyrm form, although most see it as an ascension, and others view it as a rite of passage.
Changes:
-Noticeably larger than their adult size.
-Built for space flight
-Only able to fly in weightlessness, however they can fly long enough to leave the atmosphere of the planet.
-All crests, neck, torso, & tail are elongated. (chubby tails become more slender, larger builds slim down a little)

Humanoid Form
All Nel'oths have the ability to take on a humanoid form that is Draconic with Elven features.
There is no special requirements. This applies to all Nel'oths.
This form is maintained by the Nel'oth's magic. The stronger the magic, the longer that they can stay in this form.
-Weak Magic: about 12 hours or less
-Medium Magic: about 1 to 2 days
-Strong Magic: about 3 days or more (caps at 5 days)
Pushing themselves to stay in humanoid form for the maximum amount of time will make them too exhausted to use magic & could lead to fainting and potentially death.
-Still has access to their magic in this form.
-Some traits can be hidden or suppressed (size decrease)
Example: Mandibles trait are tucked into the mouth. Body crests disappear.
-Crests get turned into hair. Any: style, length, texture, color.
-Smaller pair of eyes are ALWAYS below main eyes.
-Retains teeth traits and shape present in the original form.
-Always have human proportioned pointed ears by default. If they have the ear trait then they are longer than the default.
-Slightly longer neck than a human
-Humanoid hands with claws and dragonoid feet with pawpads.
-Tail pad is also present if the original form has it.
-The secondary arms (smaller pair) cannot be removed in humanoid form (unless they are missing on the original design). However it can be disguised and hidden away by clothing such as capes or cloaks or large jackets. etc.
