#Boanz

[fuzevos]

My drawing tablet recently died, so I did some sketching on paper. Specifically of Boanz to show they DO have a lower jaw, and to practice expressions.

Could not resist. These were 50% off at the card shop.

(Seriously though, no Boanz up in the shop? TF?)

Icons.

Grimbone

Boanz × 2

A Boanz which overcame it's emptiness, no longer constantly seeking to feed. It quietly lurks in the dark, watching over other Boanz and attempting to guide them into overcoming their hunger as well. To battle, Grimbone can extend vicious scythes from both of it's arms to slash at foes. It has a particular dislike for Hoghoul.

Boarbone

Created by combining Porklin with Boanz

A beast evolved from a Porklin who had gotten lost and spent too much time around Boanz. After spending lots of time crawling around to avoid being eaten, it adapted to running on all fours. It’s hide is tough and covered in thick, stiff hairs, along with bony plates that resemble a boanz.

Hoghoul

Porklin + Boanz

Overcoming it's fear of boanz, a porklin began to hunt and consume the apparently undead creatures, developing into a vicious alpha predator with bony plates adorning it's massive body.

--------

Originally called Boarbone, this is the last one of the originals to be traced at a higher resolution.

Skulletar

Goober + Boanz

The unfortunate result of a boanz consuming a goober and subsequently being absorbed by it's would-be prey. In spite of it's ghastly appearance, it maintains a friendly demeanor and happily guides travelers through dangerous environments.

--------

The first of the original fusions that got redesigned. I felt like the previous skulletar's face felt a little flat.

[fuzevos]

Skeeterror

Grubby + Boanz

A vicious predator that lurks in boggy, swampy areas. It's harpoon-like proboscis is tough and sharp enough to pierce through the toughest hides to drain it's prey dry. When actual prey is scarce, they can also drain large plants of their moisture for nutrients at well.

Skulletar

Created by fusing a Goober with a Boanz

A goober which had absorbed a boanz. It’s body had become viscous and tar-like, with bones and other debris getting stuck in it. In spite of a spooky appearance and less than pleasant smell, it’s a jovial and friendly creature that guides lost travelers through dangerous terrains. It often uses flat stones as finger and palm pads.

So! I've already posted the updated art of these guys to replace the original set, but I've now got them with dex entries to provide a little lore! May or may not do individual, more detailed posts for each of these guys later!

Dex entries below the cut!

Boanz

These diminutive creatures constantly hunger, eating anything they can, from other creatures to garbage to dirt, to fill a mysterious emptiness inside themselves. Tamers are advised to have plenty of snacks available or use appetite suppressants to avoid bites being taken out of them.

Tads

Large polywogs that enjoy damp environments and water. In spite of their underdeveloped legs, they can hop quite a distance.

Grubby

Large, green grubs that are a staple of many predators’ diets. To try to defend themselves, they curl into balls and roll as fast as they can to escape.

Maji

It is unknown what the true form of Maji is beneath it’s cloak and hat. They enjoy stargazing on mountaintops, dreaming of crafting powerful spells.

Rox

Living geodes that seem to wander aimlessly. Judging by how often they bump into things, they appear to be either blind or careless, the latter of which they can afford to be due to how very few things will eat rocks. They have an attraction towards vibrations.

Pippin

Friendly little angels that enjoy helping others. They appear to feed on the gratitude of those whom they aid.

Dervin

Mischievous little devils that enjoy playing tricks on humans, such as moving things while nobody is looking or suddenly shrieking to startle people.

Bulbo

Creatures that resemble sentient plant bulbs. They spend the daytime with their root-like feet buried in the ground as they bask in the sun. At night, they wander in search of water.

Furbin

These highly-adaptable, energetic balls of fur tend to make great pets for children. When food is scarce, they become less active to save energy.

Chikki

Birds that are commonly seen in forested areas, they primarily hunt Grubbies and forage for berries and nuts. The brightness and vibrancy of their crests seems to be an indicator of their overall health.

Dragling

Vicious red lizards that prefer warm or dry climates. They are highly protective of what they deem to be theirs, and spit flames to fight rivals.

Porklin

Small in stature and timid in nature, Porklins wield a surprising amount of strength to protect themselves from predators. They seem to have an intense fear of Boanz.

Skwire

Skwires train with each other endlessly to become great warriors, wielding wooden swords and shields to fight.

Gidget

In the past it was thought that Gidgets and Royaplushes were abandoned toys that came to life. Gidgets are highly social and seem to have a fear of being alone.

Goober

Friendly blobs that seem to enjoy the company of others, and seem unaware of the possible dangers around them. Their eyes float freely in their translucent bodies, but it’s unknown if they actually register anything due to a visible lack of brain.

Spikorn

Strange, rodent-like lizards, they gnaw on metals that they somehow incorporate into the spikes on their shells. The ones with bigger spikes are often viewed as higher in rank.

Gupple

Simple-minded fish that protect themselves by spitting jets of water. They seem capable of traveling on land for short distances, and are surprisingly good at jumping.

Sparkin

These living power cores seem to hibernate when summer hits in an attempt to prevent overheating and exploding.

Mushtool

Mushroom-like creatures that dwell in caves. Their springy bodies give them a strong resistance to impacts. Their short limbs are amazingly effective at digging.

Royaplush

Along with Gidgets, these were thought to be discarded toys that came to life to enact a grudge for being abandoned. While the truth of their nature is still unknown, Royaplush are favored by children for their soft, warm bodies. Though many find their large, glassy eyes to be unnerving.
