I put an unnecessary amount of effort into this shit.
The Nestrel line is another set of Grass Owls. Themed after the military. Nestrel refuses to leave its nest-fort, and curls it around itself as a huge ball of leaf armor, when it evolves, the grass/twigs/leaves of its nest become a backpack, and its final evolution would have a stick-leaf helmet. It would also learn a lot the unique move "Feather Bomb" which has low power, but if it knocks out an opponent's pokemon, the next pokemon to switch in is hit by the move too.
The Hothop line are fire-spiders, themed after jumping spiders wearing water droplet hats. The hothop line instead wears a ball of oil on its head, which it uses to fuel its fire attacks. Its final evo I don't know what I was doing. I was kind of trying to give it a circus theme with a top hat and fire juggling? I don't fucking know
The Puddlitl line is based on Axolotls. When it first evolves, it starts to lose its larva traits as its fin fades and its gills recede, but when it fully evolves, it reverts and its larval traits explode, causing it to lose its arms, grow larger gills, and a larger fin. Also one pair of gills turn into axes because I had no idea what other gimmick to give it
The Marseat line is based on a combination of an Opossum and a Kangaroo. Its evolution suffers heavily from "it just gets bigger"
The Leafoot line eventually evolves into some kind of grass-fighting Sasquatch. I got too lazy and too tired to draw the rest.
