#crocfoo

Crocfoo, Elgleef, and I decided to have a relaxing day at the beach! Originally was going to be something for Paw Day, but when experimenting with angles, it turned into this instead.

Crocfoo and I were challenging each other to video games throughout the night. However, during one game, I felt sleepy and accidentally fell asleep on my rival. Whoops! :D

This idea came from an old pal from my early ask blog days! We were talking about characters when he proposed this idea. I thought it was cute, so I drew it out!

Remember these sketches? Welp, I decided to make Crocfoo a reference sheet! His design is subject to change in the future when I draw him more, but for now, this is his current design and colors! Now my rival can bully me as much as he wants!

Alt Text: The text on the top says Crocfoo (Rival). He/Them. Meinfoo + Croconaw Hybrid. Type: Water/Fighting. There's a color palette for the body and eyes, where the body has maroon, peach, and gray, while the eyes are black, white, and maroon. The character has a three-point scale on the top of its head with bear ears and gray eyebrow markings. He is angy with one single tooth sticking out. His arms have maroon markings like sleeves and he has five claws. He has a gray sash across his lower chest and a peach tunic-like body. There are three jagged holes in the front and two jagged holes in the back, showing maroon. He also have two long maroon scales poking from his upper and middle back, and a long peach tail with a single maroon diamond scale sticking out of it. He also has maroon legs with a shape similar to a Riolu.

Whenever I play a Pokémon game, usually I give the rival the nickname "Crocfoo" (used to be Mienaw before deciding that was dumb) since I saw Croconaw and Mienfoo as something a rival would choose against Quilava and Zorua. I finally felt inspired enough to make some concept art to make Crocfoo an actual design! When I was drawing these sketches, it felt like Mienfoo had bear qualities while Croconaw had more dragonic qualities when combining the two.

Anyway, let's do a bit of character building! Crocfoo is one who is more aggressive and irate. He usually have more angry eyes, but he's a softie… Well, if you can get through the layers of aggression. He's also quite prideful in his power and glory, tending to be more cruel towards me since I'm considered "weaker" than he is. Though I usually just ignore him, though that sometimes provokes him into punting me into the sun.

I had a bit of struggle deciding how to incorporate Croconaw into Mienfoo, but I'm pleased with the current draft so far. I decided to make Croconaw's egg shell into a type of tunic design and just give his hands, tail, and scales. Then the rest would be Mienfoo with the head and legs, along with the inspiration for the tunic since it looks like it has an oversized shirt on.

We'll see if I draw him more in the future (and in color). For now, I'm just glad to get a design idea for him!

I mentioned before that Crocfoo has a soft side, and you can find him at his softest when he visits the daycare to play with the children there. The children adore him for being the big "scary" bear! Here, these two brave "warriors" are taking down this frightening foe and succeeding with a bunch of Nuzzles! And he's paralyzed and unable to move. Guess the children wins! And he's quite proud of these two having such a strong amount of electricity enough to paralyze and take him down.

I had a little fun with numbers. Someone calculated the stats of their fusion, and I was like "huh, I want to do that too!" They balanced it to just be the total of their stronger fusion part, but I wanted to make my fusions a bit... stronger.

Usually, 405 is the base total for the Johto middle-evo starters, so I raised up the base total of each of the Pokémon my fusions were connected to to 405. Then I took the highest stat from each of these starters. While the average between all the base total of the "Highest of Stats" is 446, I rounded it up to 450 and had it balance off there for the final stats.

As you can see, I, Zorquil, am the best attacker with high speed, special attack, and good attack. Defenses and HP are pretty low though.

Crocfoo is also pretty strong at physical attacks, but not so much for special. He's also good at tanking physical hits and has a decent speed! Not so good at special stuff though.

Elgleef is a pretty strong special attacker and is the more defensive of the three. Speed is really slow, but she makes up for it by being decent to good in overall stats.

This was a fun experiment. :>
