Day 3: Werecat

The Solution

Each animal "bite" represents a transformation on a word. The output of a transformation should always be another English word, but common first names are allowed. I make the rules!

So the second-to-last chain represents AMBIENCE getting "evened" into MINE, which gets its tail chopped off into MIN, of which the opposite is MAX. The final chain starts with FILL, whose "in the" partner is BLANK, which gets devoiced into PLANK, and then the duck inserts a C to make PLANCK. The solution, the "mad scientist" of the flavor text, is MAX PLANCK.
