Decided to try my hand at the "Stone swap" trend! Here's Mega Mawhile: Banettite
"The experiments involving mega evolving pokemon with the incorrect stone has yielded interesting results. In regards to this Mawhile, the Banettite was chosen for their shared region of origin.
Upon mega evolution, Mawhile's secondary mouth drooped over its face as three tongue-like limbs made from spectral energy sprung from its throat.
Each 'tongue' is completely prehensile, acting like tentacles which can grapple onto objects. Whilst in this form, Mawhile's demeanor shifted greatly from excitable to almost melancholic. Its almost as if all its vitality was drained from its body and into the tongues. Further testing is required."
-head researcher Mabel, Pokémon research lab, Lumiose city.
I came to this idea after looking across all the megas we currently have. I landed on the idea of taking mega banette's claws and turning them into tongues. Esthetically they call back to Mawhile's yokai inspiration, the futakuchi onna.
Was a fun little experiment!
Hope you enjoy, and if you do, I take commissions and have a patreon! Details on the pinned post of my tumblr!
