Feel free to look around, ask questions, make suggestions, or even send in some requests for new Elemon for me to make. My name is Judithan, I'm the creator of Elemon, and I promise I don't bite. I really love this world I've created and I want any chance I can get to yap about it.
Research Notes/World Atlas
Elemonster Bestiary
Q & A under the read more;
Q. What is an Elemon/Elemonster?
A. Elemon is short for 'Elemental Monster' and they are beasts/monsters that have magical, elemental powers! Most are rather powerful and require a licensed handler to be tamed. Though, some are significantly more docile and can be raised as pets or livestock.
Q. Isn't Elemon the same as P*kemon?
A. Not quite, though they are close. I wanted to create a world similar but in many ways more thought out from the start. I also want it to be an inclusive world in where there are not only LGBTQ+ individuals, but also representations of more real world problems that tend to get glossed over in kids media. (I also don't shy away from the word Fuck, either)
Q. If Elemon isn't P*kemon, then why do you use the Fakemon tag?
A. Simple answer: visibility. It's hard to get original content seen on Tumblr and I'm hoping that by using the fakemon tag, the people who are interested in new critters are able to find Elemon and enjoy them. (And so far people have been!) Once I've hit a point where I'm able to reach a decent visibility status I will likely use it less and less.
Q. Why did you decide now to make Elemon?
A. I'm frankly sick and tired of seeing how P*kemon has been handled for the last half a decade and decided that instead of expending my energy being mad about things I can't change, I would put it into making a world that I have full control over and find extremely fun to create/draw for. Making little guys is therapeutic! Seriously!
Q. Do you have any plans to turn Elemon into a real game?
A. Not really. It would be a massive undertaking and, while I am versed in some game making, my entire expertise is python/renpy/visual novels. AKA, not friendly to Real Gameplay. I would need to commission/work with a team to get it together and I just don't work well enough with others.
Q. Which Elemon is your favorite?
A. I love all my children so much, but I'm exceptionally fond of Zaptor and Moliage. Xolstier is also very dear (ha, deer) to me, as they are my oldest Fakemon that I still have record of.
Q. Do you mind if people make fanart or fakemon of Elemon?
A. I would love to see any and all fanart or fan creations of my children. Fan characters, Elemon, all of it. If you tag me in it I will reblog it.
Hihi! Just wanted to let u know I put Zephyr up on artfight! Unfortunately the dungeoneer and paramedic will probably have to be added mid event, I can only draw so fast TT

youre so based dude hell yeah
i already followed u back on there so ill have to bookmark the fella >:))
"I'm gonna just do a few tweaks" I said before giving him an entire rehaul...
Wow guys look at my scout rescue aid handler, look at how awesome he is! Anyways his team:
✦ Runigrif
✦ Weredae
✦ Fenwylf
Most of his team helps out with the scouting and fast travelling, Weredae uses its strength to help free citizens who may be trapped under things like rubble.
Elemon belongs to @elemonsters
More info + more handler concepts under cut!
✦ His personality was kinda nothingburger so now he has one!
He’s a bit of a fidgety guy, but will push down his own anxieties when on scouting missions. People tend to notice while he’s completely charismatic and calm during the rescue, afterwards he’ll crash on the couch and pass out for a good hour or two. He’s not faking being charismatic, he’s just being brave and needs to recharge afterwards.
✦ Unlike Runigrif and Fenwylf who were tamed normally, Weredae was a Mu that Zephyr had rescued and ended up clinging to him. Zephyr never intended to keep said Mu but never opposed it.
✦ Still goes by he/him, and he's still homosexual + demiromantic. He doesn't have a partner anymore though since the person who made his partner I'm no longer on good terms with.

On top of Zephyr's revamp, I've also made two new concepts! They're not very fleshed out, so I had to slap some basic clothes on them until I fully envision how they look.
On the left: Chamoreun, a drakenfolk dungeoneer handler - He/Him
Chamoreun's team: Blobloss, Ectokage, Belphejar (why the fuck do you have a belphejar chamoreun)
On the right: Nilan, a lycan paramedic handler - He/They
Nilan's team: Mishuu, Companyan, Garu
✦ Chamoreun struggles to control Belphejar, it bullies him. A lot.
✦ From most favoured to least favored towards battling: Chamoreun, Zephyr, Nilan.
✦ Nilan uses Mishuu for on the job work, and Garu helps them travel fast. Companyan is often brought along for emotional support for any patient that needs it.
✦ While Zephyr and Nilan already have full time jobs, Chamoreun is the only one techically unemployed. Chamoreun wants to be an elemaster someday.
Hihi! I've recently been meaning to revamp my first elemon handler oc, Zephyr and that means giving him a new team (Runigrif stays, I can never seperate him from the awesome Runigrif)
Question about your beastiary, does friendilness equate to how easily tamed the elemon can be? I assumed so, I'm mostly trying to choose a team base off personality and work of the handler.
Thanks btw!
- @perseus-of-jackson
Eeeee!!! That's so exciting i can't wait to see!!
And yes the friendliness is equated to how easy they are to tame/befriend. Tho even with the worst/least friendly elemon they still can be befriended but it's just much more difficult and requires a special type of handler
scrolling through again, just wanted to let you know that i love this project of yours, and no matter what i just want you to know im rooting behind you and to take as much time as you need + want since i know passion and care is more important than timely updates.
i do have a question + mon suggestions if you dont mind:
theres a few old art designs you've uploaded that i haven't seen pixel art yet, (top of head the furry crab), and im just wondering since this is for fun if all designs will eventually end up in the bestiary or if some will end up getting cut?
if youre still wanting some concept ideas for fresh water elemons, crayfish are pretty neat and most mons with those body type are saltwater lobsters n the like, i know you also mentioned some snowy mons and made me think of how this last winter exploding trees trended which could a fun non-snow type for a snowy area.
I keep going back to reread this cuz it's just such a nice and heartfelt message. I haven't given up on elemon at all it's just that I got other stuff taking the foreground. I got a book and a vn in the works and it's so time and energy consuming aughhh
As for designs I haven't done pixel art for, a few of them are likely to be cut but some of them, mostly newer ones, are going to be kept. I just haven't gotten around to it yet (either that or I want to rework the design before committing)
And those are honestly excellent design options, I'll definitely keep those in mind. A crayfish mon would be so cute....... Much to consider
The language in Lazarr is all universal, though some races have different idioms/accents than others based on regional dialect rather than true language shift.
Text on image:
. All races originally stem from Humes, and by effect their lanuage is also the base for all others. The stroke order is left to right, top to bottom.
. Being the centralmost race, Drakenfolk are most often tradesmen, their work in making signage for the region and techology and tools makes their language often standardized and blocky. The stroke order is top to bottom, left to right.
. Curly and elegant, the Warren's lettering is a result of being isolated from the mainland. It is the closest to cursive in that dots and dashes are all added at the end, rather than by character.
. Lycan and .Undine operate similarly and mostly use Hume standards. They both share the trait of conjegative vowels.
Certain races are gonna have lettering where certain letter combos are contracted into a single character (like Ch and St being their own singular written character)
Celiin is Saber's mom, and is the epitome of success at any cost. She took over CachaCorp when the previous president passed away, and Saber could only watch on as she became more and more distant, wrapped up in her work. She loves Elemon truly and deeply, but money has strangled her heart and blinded her to what life is about. After Saber manages to challenge her to a battle and wins, she snaps back to her senses
