Did the Lich turn into a baby?

The Lich did indeed turn into a baby, as a result of being splashed with the Citadel Guardian’s healing blood, which caused him to grow fresh organs and skin, taking the form of a giant baby with almost no recollection of his previous form. This transformation occurred in the episode “Escape From the Citadel”, where Finn and Jake left the baby Lich on the doorstep of Tree Trunks and Mr. Pig, who adopted him and named him Sweet Pig-Trunks, or Sweet P for short.
