The outward extent of the transformation could vary - for example, Delenn became an obvious combination of human and Minbari traits, whereas Jeffrey Sinclair looked fully Minbari after the transformation (as Valen), while still retaining some human DNA, which he passed on to his descendants. The process envelops the subject in a cocoon or chrysalis (hence the name) and can take several weeks to complete. At the end of which the subject "hatches" out of the chrysalis, typically in great pain and still covered by a brittle exo-epidermal skin that must be shed manually.
