I like this design! I feel like it looses too much of its poodle-ness in the transformation though, I'd leave the ears flopping on the demon-nose, and make the legs move like a poodle's (the current leg motion feels more like a rodent).

I love this! It reminds a bit of the Desert Runners and Blizzard Runners from Parasite Eve in a way.
