When you are a 600+ pound hunk of muscle with electricity powers, the energy consumption tends to go through the roof and your metabolism soars to the sky. But does that impede you from accumulating weight? Not at all.
This is another situation of Trial I wanted to materialize into a picture, one that he ended up allowing himself to get a little... heavier. The result is the muscle-gut situation seen above. He can wear it quite damn nicely, to be honest.
Despite the obvious implications of gaining what would be nearly 200 pounds of weight, the echidna learned over time that it wasn't all that bad.
One fact about him, for example, is that Trial absolutely despises the cold weather, since his lean muscular body doesn't allow for much warmth. Something that has been accidentally rectified by this happy not-so-accident, so to speak. Plus, now gaining a bear-like dad-bod stature, it really seemed not to influence on his strength abilities at all.
It is one interesting way to get a winter coat of sorts. He will burn it off eventually after the end of the winter season, but until then, enjoy! Some will definitely enjoy having more of him to hug, as this is quite snuggle-inviting.
