>>52485361>Am I missing something with Fuecoco's origin? People though it'd turn into a fun dragon thing, not a singing ghost clown+casket+guy with a bird.A lot of people guessed that it'd turn into a ghost themed around Dia de los Muertos (or fairy, that was also thrown around) based on Fuecoco's skull like face.
Skeledirge's clown-like appearance could also be a reference to Barcelona's El Drac statue, which was another idea thrown around. pic related
Problem is that a lot of fanartists were zodiacfags trying to fit Fuecoco into their pattern. A snake-like quetzalcoatl dragon was a popular idea for this reason. You'll barely find any speculative evolutions that just keep Fuecoco as a crocodile.
The musical motif, I can't explain. Really does seem to just come out of nowhere. The bird is obviously a reference to Egyptian crocodiles but the microphone thing is bizarre.
