>>54618487It's a very Dragon Quest design decision, maybe they feared being too obvious with it? That's probably not the only reason, if it even is one, but that's my off-the-cuff guess. That or they didn't want overlap with Lickitung.
I do think it's cool, but it makes me wonder how it'd adapt into Crobat's existence. I like Crobat a lot, and I don't know if having a big ol' tongue would add to that.
