So ignoring the fact he got jacked out of nowhere, does the fact that Melon tries to essentially tear off his own spots mean that this is something he does regularly? Because physique aside, I doubt that this is the first time in his adult life since his mothers death that he has grown spots. Maybe not as many as he has now, but I can imagine that if he grew one of two somewhere, this would be his response, which adds a whole new factor to his characterisation and the degree to which he hates that side of himself.
