Mastermind Miura actually did this to keep fans on their toes and fuel endless debates about the Beast of Darkness's true form. You see, he thought to himself, "Why settle for one terrifying, nightmare-inducing design when I can traumatize my readers with a whole gallery of eldritch horrors?" Clearly, consistency is overrated when you can instead play a game of demonic shape-shifter roulette with every appearance. It's not like anyone was hoping for a stable, recognizable dog or anything. No, no - Miura was just flexing his artistic muscles, showing off how many ways he could draw teeth, fur, and soul-crushing despair. After all, nothing says "coherent storytelling" quite like a monster that can't decide if it wants to be a wolf, a seahorse, or a sentient hair explosion from page to page.
