Notes
- The tadpole can be eaten, communed with or destroyed. The last of which is only an option if you've avoided consuming tadpoles so far. Eating or communing with the tadpole will result in the party member receiving its powers; however, if it is eaten, it cannot be communed with by other members of the party.
- Any character who communes with (or eats) the tadpole will change in appearance, gaining prominent black veins on their face.
