[bugs-in-situations]

in honor of forgor land day here is something we drew back in february and, very fittingly, forgot to post

[bugs-in-situations]

Please tell me things about the Orb Fables Leif and Zommoth Situation. Is it exactly like the Fecto Elfilis Situation, or are there differences?

it's basically the same situation of "alien creature gets so tormented by Science that it splits into two creatures" but with the difference being like. Which parts got separated. instead of the fecto situation where the tiny compassionate part got ejected from the rest of the being it's more like the logical thought part and the pure emotion/instinct part got separated. the mind and the heart, if you will

since there's More of leif than there is of elfilin they're also more powerful, keeping some of the dimensional rift abilities (roughly comparable to magolor in star allies) at the cost of having a very limited emotional range. likewise, zommoth's psychic abilities aren't quite as strong as fecto forgo, and their ability to plan and Make Good Decisions is tanked

at the end of the leif's request plotline when zommoth is defeated they kind of fuse back together but in the katfl-true-arena-ending way and not the final-boss-sequence way, so they don't just become the old version of themselves again. most of what leif gets out of this is the closure of remembering what happened to them in the past and the ability to actually feel the catharsis from this

bonus drawing of the weird alien rodent siblings that was drawn while we were thinking about this:

decided to change our decisions with orb chompy so now she's kind of a hybrid of some obscure enemies from kirby 64 and mass attack

thinking the leafbugs are the people of the sky now. fits better with their proximity to the wasps/sectras
