Annnd now that I've sorted him out, Noa's boons as well!
First, as an Adept Fog Follower, he switches out from the ability to turn into a Basilisk to the ability to become a Chimera. I'll be asking a question about those on the Manticore page, but continuing on, here are what I would like to change Noa's current boons over to, if possible-I tried to keep them as close to the original modifications and spells as I could.
Body Mod Change Overs
Minor Modification -> 'Split' Cheshire grin, not unlike his original naga mouth; to manifest with his fangs.
Major Modification -> Prehensility of the wings, to match the abilities from his 'wing-like' growths as a naga. Since Manticore have existing wings, this change manifests by altering the shape of his normal wings somewhat when they come in.
Tier 3 Monster Form -> Mishipeshu the 'underwater panther'. To keep from invading other monster skills, while this form can swim and hold their breath for a decent amount of time, they are not immune to water pressure or to the cold-and it doesn't even have the Bakunawa's ability to carry monsters in its mouth! (Though the scales are fairly hardy, and Noa can potentially curl himself around someone to protect them)
Ability Change Overs
Tier 1 Power -> LOTS of tales concerning manticore involve it having the ability to hurl quills or spikes from the end of its tail; thus, this ability replaces Noa's power to spit venom once he has a tail to even hurl things from. (Suffice to say, either those quills will be the stinger itself, orrrrr hardened venom shot, or...idk something?)
Tier 2 Power -> Rather than creating fear through sound and eye contact, Noa now creates fear through silence and initial eye contact; once the meeting has been made, he must stay absolutely quiet, including his movements. For as long as he keeps any sound he makes from meeting the ears of his victim, they will begin to experience their greatest fear, manifesting first as a creeping feeling of dread and growing into full on terror the longer it lasts. If Noa can keep it up for a full ten minutes, he may well give someone a fatal heart attack!
But really, keeping Noa quiet to that extent for ten minutes? Pretty hard, especially since his victim can easily start lashing out against the hallucinations and injure Noa in the process. This is doubly tricky, as Noa must keep his eyes on his victim at all times. He may blink, of course, but he has to keep looking at them!
Noa's remaining boons remain the same, though his Dyster Home might end up with the furnishings shuffling around to better suit his eventual feline shape ahah.
