>>54355740Well there is a secondary aspect to dudunsparce's design, the cuelebre (pic related), but it gets swallowed up amidst the "dunsparce but bithorax mutation" aspect of it. I've done slight research on it before, so here's how this aspect is represented:
>The cuelebre is a multi-winged serpent from Cantabrian and Asturian folklore; Paldea is based on Spain, Dudunsparce is a fat snake with wings (a winged serpent)>The cuelebre's impervious scales grow thicker with age; Dudunsparce has much bulkier stats than Dunsparce and has an extra hard "cap" on its tail>The cuelebre's only weak spot is its throat; There is a seemingly random spiral pattern on the underside of Dudunsparce's first segment regardless of form>The cuelebre lives in deep caves; Dudunsparce is only find in the wild in Area Zero>The cuelebre retreats to Mar Cuajada in old age, a place with diamonds covering the bottom; The lowest point of Area Zero is covered in large diamantine crystalsIt's not even a particularly impressive "dragon" as far as they go: it's primarily a nuisance that has to be appeased rather than a real threat, and the most common method of killing one seems to be feeding it bread with pins in it. They get so large with age that they physically can't live on the land anymore, which is why they retreat into the sea to live in Mar Cuajada. But again, the more insect-y aspects of the design swallow up what could have otherwise been an interesting interpretation
