It is a good idea to show a "naked" mourt, all thanks go to

I had a text description of how such a mourt would look like, but I never had an illustration, which would indeed be better - so now I have.
It is a light-class "naked" mourtair, or a zero-mourtair, not grown into anything. A middle- or a heavy-class mourt would be built a bit different, but having at least this pic is already good.

A zero mourt always has gray skin and almost colorless, bland eyes . The skin is still thicker than that of a human, but thinner and smoother than most regular mourts have.
They tend to grow lankier and "branch" more when the growing phase starts, the body "reaches out" for the materials to fuse with. If there are none found, it may end up in a more severe incapacitation than if the same mourt had grown into something that could hold their rooting body together. When the growing phase is finished, it is much harder for them to learn to use their twisted feet to walk and their deformed hands to grab - if possible at all. A longer body may contribute to the mourtair's health in general, too, especially to the musculoskeletal system as the most changed one.
This doesn't affect their brain, coordination, intellect and such, but may affect their psyche due to seeing themselves as crippled (or, more crippled than regular mourts are compared to humans they were made from).
