#070: Thistleleon

After 10 thousand years of living as all kinds of different creatures, a Fluffree will grow into their final form: Thistleleon, a massive dragon full of wisdom from hundreds of lifetimes, they will travel to the highest peaks of the planet where other Thistleleon settle, sharing their life experiences with others to learn even more about life. They hoard stories, as well as the DNA of all the creatures they turned into, which they can place in the next generation of Fluffrees if need be; this and the fact they are immortal, makes them perfect safekeepers of biodiversity, if a catastrophe occurs & many species go extinct, they can bring them back by releasing Fluffrees into the wind!

Inspired by Thistle & Dragons!

#069: Sonosurf

This microscopic organism can surf on the soundwaves created by bigger creatures! By vibrating at a specific frequency, they can make parts of their body levitate in place, which makes them more easily moved by air vibrations and be able to surf with them!

They do this both as a means of transportation and just to have fun! They prefer to ride the waves made from rhythmic vibrations like music! Wherever there are tunes playing, you can bet there are Sonosurfs enjoying the waves in the air around you!

Inspired by Soundwaves, Acoustic Levitation & Surfing!

We gotta do something about the way dog owners behave. No other pet owner is just bringin the pet wherever the fuck they go all the time but for some reason with dog owners they think its fine if they bring their dog to the gym and taco bell and whatever. And you invite a dog owner to your house where youve got your own pets youve got your dog and your cats and whatever it is you have and this dog owner shows up at your door like "oh i brought my dog i hope thats okay hes so sweet youll love him" and it is always the most untrained poorly behaved agressive animal that has ever lived. And we all have to pretend like its acceptable behaviour well im sick of it

Red Drill Ball!

Here's the other Drill Ball variant, the red one! This Red Drill Ball acts the same as the Yellow Drill Ball, with the main difference being that it gives the Sleep ability instead of Hammer. Heavy Mole's fight is an autoscroller, so getting Sleep, an ability that forces Kirby to lie still on the ground for a few seconds, is not very good. It's a funny thing to do to the player, but it's basically only effective once, unless you really mess up. To accompany the Red Drill Balls silly little prank, it wears a gleeful expression in contrast to the Yellow Drill Ball's more simple one. The red coloration also matches up with Heavy Mole's red saw blades, so there's some good color cohesiveness going around.

Yellow Drill Ball!

This little thing is one of two Drill Balls, which are enemies sent out by Heavy Mole during it's boss fight. They're kinda missile shaped, but they're most likely supposed to be some kind of tunnel boring machine, as they're capable of digging right through terrain just like Heavy Mole is! The Drill Balls are Kirby's only method of damaging Heavy Mole if you didn't enter the fight with an ability already. You can spit the Drill Balls out the easy way, or you can inhale them to get an ability! The reason why "Yellow" is being noted in this guy's name is because there's also a Red Drill Ball! They give different Copy Abilities, with this Yellow one giving Hammer. Drill ball doesn't really represent Hammer that well, but Hammer is capable of breaking the terrain in the Heavy Mole fight, so they likely just wanted an excuse to give it to the player. In their original NES sprite, the Yellow Drill Ball had a sorta eye-half-closed look that was similar to Heavy Mole themselves, while in Nightmare in Dream Land their eye is more wide open. Their yellow coloring makes them closely resemble Heavy Mole as well.

Kirby!

The final submission for today, it's Kirby himself! If there's anything you could say about Kirby, it's that he tries his best. As a matter of fact, I'm incredible impressed he was able to get these words somewhat intelligible. I think he was tracing off of Adeleine's, cause he definitely doesn't know what these words mean, but still that's really impressive. And the art is great too!! Artist ability or not, I'm really happy to see him draw. Thank you so much Kirby for the submission :) Glad I got to take a break today... to..day... just one day?? Why did I post all of these in one day??? What was I thinking!!! Well shoot, I guess I gotta get back to working on finishing up Kirby's Adventure soon.... I'll try my best! Ty for the following this project and all my others!! And happy April Fools!!

Heavy Mole!

Well they sure look heavy! Heavy Mole is the boss of Yogurt Yard, and is one of the last few bosses in Kirby's Adventure. They're quite unique in comparison to the game's other bosses, as the entire fight is an autoscroller, meaning the screen is always moving. If Kirby doesn't keep up, he might end up getting crushed by the terrain. The reason it's an autoscroller is because the fight takes place underground, and Heavy Mole is busy digging through the dirt with it's giant saws while Kirby chases behind it. It's not completely defenseless though, as a hatch on it's backside can deploy enemies known as Drill Balls. They come in two variants that give different Copy Abilities, and I'll go more into them when I draw them next! I quite like Heavy Mole's design, it's super unique and weird. It has a lot of moving parts, and they don't all quite seem necessary or productive in any way. Heavy Mole hasn't seen any major appearances outside of Adventure, only a few cameos, as well as appearing as an opponent in Kirby's Avalanche, like most of the bosses that existed at the time. Two actual mole bosses, Moley and his wife Mrs. Moley, reference Heavy Mole by pulling out it's red saw blade and throwing it at Kirby. Also, a boss introduced in Kirby Super Star, named Heavy Lobster, bears some resemblance to Heavy Mole, with similar golden coloration, as well as being a giant robot named after an animal. Like with all Kirby bosses that haven't appeared in a while, I look forward to when HAL brings this guy back! It's inevitable, anyways.
