Thal Pueblo

Parahuman sets a short term (on the scale of minutes to accomplish) task as their goal. As they get closer to their goal, they slowly transform into a lizard-like form made of embers and coals, hot enough to burn people they touch. In this form, coals and embers trail behind the parahuman, making it difficult to follow them and setting fire to anything flammable they walk over. Also, as the parahuman becomes more and more reptilian, their thoughts also become more cold-blooded, prioritizing pain and punishment over debilitation and they focus more and more on their task, concentrating their efforts on a single area, lunging, tackling, or cutting off nearby foes. When the task is accomplished, the cape returns to normal, and must set another goal to start changing again.
