It’s…. Not a good look
When River loses his cool, his shape shifting flesh follows his emotional deregulation. His body becomes an unstable, crawling suggestion of a living creature.

Temporal Mutation
A small feathered head pops up from a snowbank, delivering an excited "Honk!"
Guido will never grow larger than the egg he hatched from, a side effect of the massive amounts of Temporal Radiation he was subjected to in "transit."
This mutation is also responsible for Guido's genius level intellect.
Not directly related to mutation, it seems that the fossil record failed to record his particular type of Diplodocus is an arctic variety, adapted to cold weather with a feather coat & insulating fat reserves. When faced with extreme heat, Guido has learned to dissipate the heat through his psychic shields, causing a flaring visible to the eye when this effect occurs.
It should be noted that Guido is effectively an animal despite these qualities.
