ask-goodwill replied to your post:headcannon: changeling chitin is a conductor for electricity, as nova (who has a habit of getting hit by lightning) will painfully find out.

I think they meant the armor plating on the flesh, not the changeling.

A Warrior’s, or Goliath’s armor plating is little more than hyperdense keratin that grows over their hide.  Though it can conduct static electricity, it does so no more than a changeling’s hide, and as such Chintin is no more conductive or insulated than any other changeling.
