So I'll repost this.

Just wondering something about shifters and your code to differentiate between similar second-to-last and final forms.

Basically, the way I understand it now, is that if I have tortoise, then I can't get armadillo (I fully understand RtB or StW can change this and don't take into account).

Well, that got me thinking. Does every final form have a third tier equivalent? If I get Ocelot, is it impossible for me to get Golden Jaguar without using an edge?

Finally, assuming everything I've postulated is correct and works the way I presume it does, any particular reason why polar bear and pachyderm are a combo? Pachyderm is basically just a slightly buffer polar bear with toss + trample.

Thanks for everything.

Yup.

Nope.

Yes.

They are similiar, but still different enough, unlike armadillo/tortoise.

So long, and thanks for all the fish!
