What Happends to Shyvana's Clothes During Transformations?
None of Shyvana's new lore mentions what she wears, or what happens to her clothing when she turns into her dragon form. As I see it, there are three possibilities for how the transformation works, but each has its own problems.
Option A - Animagus Style. Shyvana's armour magically disappears when she transforms into a dragon, and reappears when she returns to human form. This is what appears to happen in-game, though that doesn't necessarily mean it matches the lore. I don't like this option myself, because of the implications it has about Shyvana's magic. Namely, the ability to temporarily remove matter from existence is a pretty huge magical ability to only be use for such a trivial thing as clothes. Not even Xerath or Syndra have abilities like this; they just throw energy around and break things. Now Shyvana is obviously a magical being, but I think this takes her magic too far.
Option B - Werewolf Style. Like your typical movie werewolf, Shyvana's transformation does not incorporate whatever she is wearing, and her sudden increae in size destroys whatever she war wearing at the time. This would of course mean that when she transforms back to human form she would need a new set of clothes. The problem with this theory is that Shyvana wears metal armour. Transforming out of metal armour is bound to be painful and harmful,, but it would also mangle the armour beyond repair. If this option is true, then somewhere in Demacia there is a very confused blacksmith who spends every waking hour forging dozens of duplicates of the same set of armour. Shyv's armour is pretty fancy too, so the logistics of maintaining this procedure are absurd.
Option C - Mystique Style.
This might sound far-fetched, but it is worth considering that what we call Shyvana's "armour" might actually be part of her body, and not be removable. If so, then her armour human scales would just transform with her between forms. This would explain the similar features between her human scales and her dragon form. As far as I can tell, Shyvana's new lore never actually states that she is wearing armour (old Q&A proably does, but that's not relevant anymore), so this theory is loosely possible.
Does anyone have any other theories? Thoughts? I know I am being picky, but my curiosity has been stoked.
