I love the species choices for the centaur AU! in particular, Simon being a snow leopard made me chuckle and Bonnie being a gum dragon is simply delightful.
is Neddy still basically the same but with extra limbs? I’m guessing that the rest of the gum family are also gum dragons in their original forms, but what kind of forms do they have as candy people? do they have any lingering gum traits, or is their situation more similar to canon where you can’t tell just from looking?
(you probably guessed this already, but I’m the person who runs gumclones)
Thank you :3 and to answer your questions, I ended up making a doodle page dedicated to the gum family:
Neddy is the same aside from the extra limbs, same with the gum family’s ‘dum dum’ forms (though Manfried also has wings, a nod to the dragon side).
The gum family are gum dragon centaurs, but I decided making them all the exact same kind of dragon would be a bit boring in terms of design, so I changed them up a bit. Chicle is a lung dragon, Lolly is a wyvern and Gumbald is a drake.
(Also since you’re interested in gum family stuff, I do have a concept for Chicle not being ‘dumified’ in another au here which I do plan to eventually draw if you want to check it out)
