>>58377255>>58377287many people don't like the scutes which sucks because it's a part of the design I love. I like how the padding is on the arms, tail base, knees, and ribcage specifically as those would be the most likely places for other pokemon to bite if it got into a fight. The ones on its knees help as built in knee-pads when it emerges from the water but has to be on all 4s at first because of the change in weight (according to its pokedex entries)
