>>39257322At first, I was gonna ask whether it's meant to be a beaver or an otter or something else, but now that you changed its design, it just looks like a literal clone to me, arguably worse than how it started off. The tail is too pikachu-ish imo, you don't see Pachirisu/Plusle/Minun or even Dedenne copy a pikachu tail just because they're electric pikaclones.
I suggest making the tail go back to being beaver-like, and if you want it to represent a lightning in shape, make it bigger and wider than it currently is, also make the frontal teeth longer so it looks less like a literal pikachu
>>39257720to avoid looking like bidoof/bibarel, I'd go for the darker brown color scheme, probably bottom row, 2nd from the left
