This Anton Seems... Fishy {Antonblast}
Inspired by a concept I saw on the Antonblast subreddit of a "Fake" Anton (a-la Fake Peppino) derived from a mutated Anton Fish (enemy encountered in Pinball Mire, a Crash Bandicoot reference), so I decided to take my own crack at it. Meet Doppelganton, the (heavily) mutated Anton Fish!
Info:
Probably the result of waste run-off from Smallbuster's experiments mixing with the dangerous mud of the Pinball Mire.
The binomial name, Homoides rhodops, should translate into "Human-likeness Rose-colored face" (as in, has a human-looking face that resembles a certain RRRRED GUY), but I'm not too familiar with how binominal nomenclature names work.
Now it's trying to learn how to human... Well, first it was trying to learn how to "Anton", but learned that it didn't really like "Anton-ing", at least not the "angry", "drunk", and "inconsiderate" parts. Very quickly learned that Anton is kind of a dick and isn't a fan of that.
Wanted to exaggerate the "top-heavy" shape and big arms, similar to the true Anton. Hard not to skip leg day when you don't have legs, y'know? Ended up being built like the bastard child between Eelektross and the Headless Ichthys lmao.
Can still walk/run on those little green flippers, just not very fast or well. Much more graceful within water or fluids similar to water (and if powered up a specific way, can swim through the air and solid materials as if they were water).
Has axolotl-style frilled gills in place of where ears would be on a human.
Mouth colors are inverted: Instead of red insides with a green tongue, it's green insides with a red tongue. Also has Pharyngeal jaws (not shown).
The thick black outline framing the sides of its underbelly is meant to resemble Anton's suspender straps.
The two different pupil/iris shapes (particularly the rectangular left eye) are a shout-out to the original thing that inspired this. The W-shape of the right iris/pupil is meant to resemble the pupils of cuttlefish.
I hope you like it!
