REAL ok I am bored lemme give real lore duncebi was originally just a snake, specifically a venomous rattlesnake species, living in a desert. theres a species of beetle labled as "transformative". what they do is they transform into something as a way to get close to prey. if someone eats a large amount of these beetles at once, the person will become something that has to do with the most recent thing those beetles had eaten. duncebi was running from a bird trying to eat him and hid behind a cactus. he was hungry and decided to take a bite out of the cactus. the cactus was filled with the beetles amd then duncebi became the form he is now. anyone who experiences this will be able to transform into anything. these beetles are able to traverse universes. anyone who is transformed by them will NOT be able to do the universe traversal ability.
