Tahm Kench & Protobelt

In light of recent Tahm buffs, I've been using him in the jungle (hes pretty good in the jg it would seem right now). His ridiculous ability to double dip into tanky jungle items aside, I wanted to talk about protobelt specifically (fyi its pretty great on him with a cinderhulk/ wit's end three item core added to chilling smite making him quite a sticky threat). Currently, you can swallow and ally and protobelt away, however you cannot do the same while holding an enemy (basically the best you can do is either protobelt to gap close or save it for right after you swallow in case they survive as an unavoidable execute). I can fully understand why this isn't a thing, but I wanted to talk about how this feels weird from a continuity stand point. I also wanted to check in and see what other interactions tahm had that the community may have that could prevent me having to test it myself.

Things like: If tahm swallows and enemy and an opposing poppy ults him on a full charge, then will Tahm take the enemy with him?

Can tahm grab a thresh lantern with an enemy/ ally?

For the Poppy one I assume yes, as it is not under his control. That Poppy will be hated by her team though.

For the Thresh one, only if Tahm has an ally. Voluntary movement abilities(flash, proto belt, the lantern) are disabled while you have an enemy inside. Involuntary, like the Poppy ult or the new Ryze ult(skarner too, but that most likely won't work in your favor) will. Also Alistar head buts or Blitz hooks.
