Sorry Draco, I think Chalkydri would only refer to their Sex Forms, not their "True Forms". It would be extremely uncomfortable to, for example, change the name Human to Coitus.

Gonna say that giant, lightyear long dragons vomiting the very essence of paradox space itself would probably be the True forms of the cherubs. Their reproduction has less to do with sex and more with evil vs good type stuff.

Though i guess the cherubs kinda mix a lot of elements with Angel type entities in general. Seraphim were once described as fiery dragons too.

They only turn into those forms to mate and reproduce.

This would be like calling a caterpillar a butterfly, just because it's going to change into a butterfly later.
Or calling a squirtle a blastoise. Etc.

It's still a drastic metamorphosis that completely changes what the creature (or being in this case) is.
