How did the Lich become a baby?
The Lich became a baby after being splashed with the Citadel Guardian’s blood, which had rejuvenating properties that ‘healed’ the Lich into submission and broke his hold on other inmates, ultimately turning him into a large, pacified baby. This transformation occurred after Finn used the Citadel Guardian’s blood to defeat the Lich, resulting in the Lich’s body being ‘rebooted’ and his mind being restored to a state of innocence, leading to his adoption by Tree Trunks and Mr. Pig, who renamed him Sweet Pig-Trunks, or Sweet P for short.
