Updated designs for Fophid and Lepignito commissioned by my friend @plus-sizedscribe! Plus a new middle form, Impodster, and 4 distinct formes that Lepignito can take, based on the environment it evolves in.

More info under the tab!

Fophid are timid creatures with many predators. Their carapace has evolved to blend in perfectly with an arboreal environment. When provoked, it wields the branch-like appendage on its abdomen like a lance. It has no venom, it's quite sharp!

Impodster attaches itself firmly to tree limbs, disguising itself as a small branch. Once it has done this, it is impossible to detach until it evolves. (It would be much easier to take the entire branch with it!) It does not budge, even after being discovered. Individuals who have camouflaged themselves poorly can often be found with leaves full of holes, made by bird Pokemon that attempted to carry them away.

When Impodster evolves into Lepignito, it takes on a perfect likeness of its immediate environment. Four unique patternings, based the biomes it occurs in naturally, have been officially recorded; however, it is believed that new patterns could be created by evolving the pokemon in a unique environment.

Even when their immediate environment does not match the markings on their wings, they somehow still manage to obscure themselves from view. Many theories have been pose as to how they are able to do this, but none have been proven, as this behavior is quite difficult to observe.

It prefers to sit motionlessly and evade detection, but when provoked, it uses its stealth to confound opponents and catch them unawares. Once the opponent has become disoriented, it flies off into the shadows, never to be seen again.

---

The line is based on the Peppered Moth, which are a famous example of natural selection that has actually been observed and recorded in real-time. The moth originally evolved to camouflage against lightly-colored trees, but a melanic mutation became more genetically favorable during the industrial revolution, when the trees became blackened with soot. After environmental standards were introduced, the white variant became common again. Today both variations can be found, and they are often mistaken for different species!

Plussized-Scribe helped conceptually with the variations/typing, with his own rom-hack in mind. I may add more variations for my own fan project.

I had originally designed Fophid to camouflage with the forest floor, but during my redesign I found out that the peppered caterpillar camouflages itself as a tree branch. I thought that was neat, to I went with that angle instead.

I also added a middle form to make it a better counterpart for the Pareyeva line who use the opposite form of self defense!

Edit: @plus-sizedscribe wrote some really great Pokedex entries for his hack that he allowed me to share here as well:

"Unlike Sewaddle, the leafy bits Fophid sport are not fashion statements, but specialized organs for camouflage. In autumn, their bodies release chemicals to redden the organs and match the foliage.

The base of the headcrest pulls double duty as a third mandible. Thus, Fophid can chew better while also maintaining camouflage, as the shaking of the crest resembles a leaf trembling in the breeze."

"Having secured themselves on a sturdy tree trunk, Impodster steadfastly await evolution. Very little can dislodge these Pokémon, which are nearly helpless if they happen to end up on the ground.

Impodster with poor camouflage are often found with leaves full of holes. These are made by naïve bird Pokémon attempting to carry them away, only to realize they picked almost the worst prey they could."

"Some people claim to have fallen for a person who always wore a long coat, only for their lover to turn out to be a Lepignito. The veracity of these bizarre anecdotes is suspect, to say the least.

Lepignito live in trees whose bark match their wing patterns. They boast different patterns to blend in with the available types of trees in the regions they inhabit. At least 25 different varieties are known."

Shiny heracross x eevee adoptable! Most of my fusions (especially ones fused with eevee) look predominantly mammalian but I wanted to try something different. And what a cute little buggy friend they turned out to be!

Please consider sharing my art if you like it, thank you! My commission details and available pokemon adoptables are in my pinned post. Please PM me if interested!

Ghost Mantis

I've already shown the mantis shrimp, so why not the ghost mantis, my actual favorite insect! (Not ghost mantis specifically, but praying mantis' in general) Yeah it's a praying mantis that looks like dead leaves so ghost mantis. They already did an orchid mantis and a green one so why not :P

back at it with the ento brainrot, this time two really basal orders! archaeognatha (bristletails) and zygentoma (silverfish, firebrats)

Bristail (Ground) lives on rocky shorelines and uses its tail to sweep sand away. why does it do that? simple, it needs to eat metal to evolve!

Pestalot (Ground/Steel) have a steel-hard exoskeleton gained from consuming so much metal. though they're tough as hell, they aren't very strong offensively, so their protective nature makes them much more of a nuisance than a threat

their names come from bristle + tail and pest + lancelot. bristail is based on jumping bristletails, with a tail stylized to look like an archaeology brush. pestalot is based on silverfish and knights. its antennae are not only a reference to the plumes on knights' helmets, but are also based on moths', since both insects are known household pests

Pokemon Challenge 2024! #1115 Snowstix.

Snowstix is a single-evolution Bug/Ice type based on the niveaphasma stick insect, the world's only alpine stick insect which is found in New Zealand's mountains. I loved the idea of a little stick dude who could survive in freezing temperatures, and when I came up with Snowstix's design I was so excited. He's a little guy! He actually came out even better than I imagined, and this is probably one of my favourite pokemon designs so far. It also taught me to use the multibrush tool (still annoyed you can't use the straight line tool in multibrush)!

Find the rest of the Te'Roa set in my master post!
