the thing about corrupt traits seen in Kibbies is that they're not usually something they're born with.
It's not just a mutation like other strange traits we've seen - it's a little more than that, and sometimes a little worse.
corrupt kibbies are exactly as they sound, in most cases; mysteriously, a kibby can break out into sudden developments that alter their appearance, and even their behaviors. some of the causes can be from something they've ate, getting too close to pollutants, or just general poor health. but these are not always the reasons!

how do you think this kibby became corrupt?

Cyrus had always loved late night exploring. He always found the best treasures that way, when nobody else was awake.
And tonight, he believed he had found the best treasure yet.
Tucked away in the branches of one of the largest trees in the section of forest he loved to explore was a nest, and sitting inside of it was a large stone egg.
It clearly wasn't an actual egg, but it was round like one. It glowed a faint golden color, and it was warm to the touch.
And as Cyrus began to smuggle his treasure home, he felt the rush of wings as something dove past him. He barely had time to react before he felt it's claws and this seemingly invisible attacker tried to carry him off of the branch! Was it a large bird? Something worse? All he could do is clutch onto the branch and his egg as hard as he could, when suddenly he was blinded by a bright flash of light,and the egg in his paws suddenly got hot, and then... disappeared?
It was then he could feel the sensation inside of him, the swirling of a storm of light and dark intermingled. The stone seemed to have....absorbed what was attacking Cyrus, trapping it and the stone inside of his very being. He would forever be changed by that encounter. He was now keeping a battlefield of dark and light trapped inside of him.

He has heard it said that emotions can feel like a pit in your chest- an intangible thing becoming as a physical weight you must carry.

He didn't believe it, at first.

Now, the lies sit heavy at his center. What seemed like a small thing in the telling has curdled, turned his stomach. To speak the truth now would be to drag it all back out, revealing the shameful extent of his deception- and he cannot, will not, do that. Perhaps it is cowardly of him to keep his silence like this, but it is all he can think to do.

And daily, the weight of the lie he carries within him grows.

It started slowly. An itch at his forehead, a pricking along his spine. He didn't think much of it at the time.

Once it began, it came on quickly- too quickly for him to hide the new antennae branching along his back. He imagined them heavier than the others, noticed the dark glow they gave off, and thought that this might be his punishment. For keeping the truth in, for agonizing over it, his secret was revealing itself- he might have told a convincing lie, but now everyone would be able to see that something was not right with him.

One day, he passed his reflection in a puddle and did not recognize it. Peering in, he saw that his irises had gone- his eyes, like the new darkly glowing growths on his head and down his spine, were inky black. He reeled backward, breathing heavily.

So this was the agony of keeping a secret- it was eating him from the inside out, turning him into this fearful, stained creature. He even bled black, now. The toll of his agonized guilt had crawled beyond his insides, crept out of his heart for all to see.

And yet, the burden is no lighter.

"You aren't looking too good these days, Faust."

He cannot muster a word in response, instead nodding mutely. He doesn't feel too good, either.

Winter. it was cold and dark outside. The trees were slippery and covered in ice. Kibbies all over were treading carefully, using their grippy paws and prehensile tails to keep them attached to the trees. Kambryn, however, was having much difficulty. His tail kept slipping off the trees, his paws felt as if they were oiled to slide against the ice, He was terrified. He gripped a branch above him, trying to hold on with his little paws...
SNAP!
The branch broke. Kambryn slammed onto the branch below and slid off quickly, landing in the fridged snow below.
No one came to help him.
Something changed in Kambryn that night. He was never seen as the same.
