The young boy who followed Edward and Alphonse on Yock Island possesses alchemical abilities, including the power to transmute his own body. Upon noticing scars on the boy's right arm and left leg, Edward uncovers the truth: the child is a homunculus. This entity acquired those specific limbs from the Elric brothers during their failed attempt at human alchemy. The revelation exposes the boy's true nature and his direct connection to the brothers' past trauma, confirming he is not merely an observer but a living consequence of their forbidden experiment.
