>>56045212>it just seems like something generic a child would draw if asked to make a bug/electric monster and had no inspiration other than those two elements.Harsh.
I was going for making a late game moth similar to Volcarona and Frosmoth. Maybe Venomoth. Just a two stage bug that skips the cocoon. Goes from a fuzzy caterpillar to a fuzzy moth.
Pinchu is based off of the Dagger Moth Caterpillar - a fuzzy yellow caterpillar with irritating hairs. In this case they carry an electrical charge. It also happens to look a little bit like Pikachu.
As for Lepiterai, that one is still up in the air design wise.
For a long time I was going to carry the Pikachu mimicry by having its wings just look like a Raichu's ear. But I've abandoned that now.
Still say I'm going to base it off of Plumed Moths - a type of moth with a long thin body and weird feathery wings. But I could always change that to the Flannel Moth. They're very fuzzy.
