"Hmmmmm" Tako says as it read over it's status again. " How about I stop talking to myself and start talking to myself? Now how do I activate cloning?" It says, it's mind automatically thinking about the process it pictures when it comes to cloning: a cell dividing.
Suddenly Tako's body starts feeling warm when they say the word cloning and a low grumble emanates from it's stomach. "Ah thats why its passive isn't it? Well, no time like the present. Why don't I test out the limits of my vore blessing?"
Tako closes its status and looks around and grabs a handful of grass and puts it in its mouth and swallows. Possibly part of the reason why Tako is mildly obsessed with vore is their unusual ability to swallow relatively large items the biggest of which was an avocado pit, purely accidentally that is. Hot dogs and jumbo marshmallows were on purpose but are also soft.
However, thanks to the blessing, swallowing is much easier now. Also thanks to the dragonkin maw instead of a human mouth. Tako smiles a sharp toothed grin and starts grabbing bigger and bigger handfuls of as many different kinds of grasses and shrubs roots, flowers., mosses, roots, branches, twigs. Even logs starting at the thickness of its wrist until the swelling turned walking into waddling.
" Now, how do I go about digesting this?" Tako says and merely the thought of digestion causes a low grumble to start and its belly starts to shrink. After a few seconds notifications, start popping into tako's mind
==========================================

The notifications were long and plentiful and included a bunch of stats as well as a couple more skills and skill level ups. But tako chose to ignore those and save them up to look at at the end. Luckily doing this time taco also gained knowledge about the different types of grass. And everything else it consumed It took a good 3 hours for Tako's stomach to go from touching the ground to flat again. Doing which time taco stuck close to the nearest tree for safety. Especially because despite Tako's best efforts, its stomach still made noise that was fairly loud. And all Tako could do was hope not to attract unwanted attention in this forest that Tako has learned is known as the Forest Sea.
According to the knowledge that Tako is slowly gaining from the vore absorption is that its current location is in a grand oak grove somewhere near an edge, probably. Tako makes this guess based on information coming in about the forest sea being a wealth of treasures at its center. And everything around taco for a decent distance is all common.
Occasionally tako lets out satisfied burps and smacks their lips tasting the unique aftertaste of all the plant life it consumed. " Depending on who you ask not the tastiest meal. But definitely satisfying to say the least. Bwaaaooorp! Great this makes me miss burp contests with Nathan and Kevan. I was rarely the winner because I couldn't burp on command. Hope they're doing good without me around. I also wish I would learn more than the tensile strength of grassblades, density of wood, or moisture levels and sponginess of mushrooms. Also I guess I got pretty lucky not eating anything poisonous but hey not going to stop me now how do I clone myself again?"
Tako asks to no one in particular And pats their flat belly which grumbles again. A faint feeling in the back of its mind helps it put 2 and 2 together. " Ah, i gotta be full and focus on cloning In order to do it. I guess it's not entirely passive, well ill check out my gained stats and skills as I go about this." Tako says and opens its status as the grab an unfamiliar red capped mushroom and blinks at the words floating by it.
==========================================
Large Lesser red capped Forest Sea blue bear steak mushroom (common)
==========================================
After being a little surprised by the words, taco looks at their status and smiles at the plant identification skill. Already level 3, and then they look at the rest of their bounty of stats and skills. Meanwhile they swallow the mushroom and continue with the unorthodox buffet.

Five whole skills, three passive, two active.No matter what they are, it's definitely a bounty Worth smiling about. Especially when you think that taco has only been here for a few hours. And 37 total stats for one belly full. Sure there is a stat and exp. cap but that is for future tako to worry about. Now taco just needs to focus on hitting that cap with every different species. And there is a lot of different species: lesser greater, mediocre, common and up, blue, yellow, green, ochre, chartreuse, red, brown, and a million and 1 names.
But first it's cloning time. Tako smiles to itself as they force a 3 ft tall skinny lesser blue grand oak sapling roots branches and all down their throat. Then they sit back, close their eyes and start the digestion process this time focusing entirely on cloning. Tako's belly shrinks with gurgle as one of Tako's outstretched hands forms a blob that slowly shapes into a mirror image of its hand clasped around it's existing hand. A new body slowly grows off of that hand until about 3 hours later there are 2 drogonkin sitting there. One is naked at first until the clothed one hands the naked one spare clothes.
" Nice to meet you I'm tako." The clothed holds out an open hand and the set of clothes. The other one smiles and takes the clothes. " Nice to meet you, Tako, funnily enough My name is also Tako. " both let out a stupid sounding laugh. " This feels weird but also natural, guess we are a hive mind. Now..... Who's up for round 2?"
The two identical dragon kin smile at each other with ravenous smiles. After a couple seconds, they turn away from each other and start once again on the unorthodox buffet, wasting no time filling themselves to movement capacity before meeting in a hollow great oak, 2ft thick of bark and wood surrounding a space large enough to be considered a small apartment that reaches nearly 30 feet up into the tree. Tako and Tako 2 agree that this tree will serve as a great first base, they both squeeze through the Crack and prop foliage up in front of it before sitting down next to eachother.
" Does it work the same as last time or do we hold hands?" Tako asks just to ask, it always helps to figure things out if you ask the right questions. Luckily for Tako, that was the right question. As both Takos feel a rumble in their stomachs, but no shrinking or digestion start, they take one of eachothers hands and leave a space for a third.
" I knew it wasn't gonna be as simple as letting me become a scourge on the forest, just eating the same amount every time and making a million clones within a few days time. Especially with the stat and exp cap they have in place. Speaking of which, we didn't gain anything when I grew you did we? And we forgot to check but I believe we share the same stats. Guess we are as ADHD as always. Let's pick up this conversation again in three hours."
With that last comment, Tako and Tako 2 close their eyes and focus on forming Tako 3. Three hours of gurgles and burps later there are three identical dragon can sitting inside of a hollow, great oak tree.
" Nice to meet you, Tako. I'm Tako, and this is Tako great to meet you all." They all three, say in sync, and let out a laugh.then the fist Tako takes charge and starts speaking. " But in all seriousness, we should use our former names at least for now. You know all our personalities and i'm over explaining, because we're all three thinking The exact same thing" they all nod in unison. " So I am Tako, Tako 2 is justin, and Tako 3 the current nudist is Hiper. And with that out of the way we should focus unclothes, i know what we're all thinking. We saw that really long type of grass. Well, not just solve, we also ate some of it. We found those rather circular rocks. And that bush with the hairy bark, and those vines. That's right.It's time for a grass skirt and a fake coconut bra! Hell yeah hiper you Lucky thing of a gun."
As tako talks it takes the things they slipped into the bag while they were eating with a smile. The three of them then se to to work, tako using it's claws to scratch and carve the stone. Justin is turning the vines into a decent thin rope, stringing and restringing, twisting and binding with sap until he achieves the desired result which is then threaded through holes in the rocks to create a bra that looks hopefully about right. Meanwhile hiper turns into their teifling form so they can measure everything out. Their breasts and decent member and folds all hanging free as can be. As they start strining and threading grass together layer after layer to make a proper skirt.
Justin turns into their human form and notices its probably more appropriate to go by Justine but who cares. " Its a new world new me so why not." She says and gets to work be pulley apart the light brown hair like bark and using sap to apply it to the outside of the mostly completed right rock while tako works on carving the second rock into a proper fit for hiper. "Lucky we found this non-toxic, white moss that is rather soft that use as padding. Great thinking tako." "thanks tako, I mean Justine." They all laugh and make many dumb jokes while the work the couple of hours away until a proper outfit has been completed
