Alternative popplio line

Brionne and Primarina are perfectly fine, though I wish Primarina pushed the siren thing more with an species from the Sirenia order, but I kind of wished that the evolution went with a more circus theme and used a hooded seal inspiration more so I made this

From that seal starter that everyone hated for no reason to a clown hooded seal to a ring master beach master. I know I said that I wish poppilo leaned into a hooded seal evolution but I'm biased towards elephant seals and made the final evo one.

Sealcus

The Honking Pokémon

Water/psychic

Abilities: Torrent (Hidden: Psychic Surge or Rivalry idk)

Height: 3'11" ft 1.2 m

Weight: 284.617 lbs 129.1 kg (actually don't know :|)

Seacus are pokemon that try to present shows to entertain people, often honking thier horn made from a shell and bubble they made. Miraculously everyone who watches these shows in person loves the act and often rewards them with food.

Seacus inflate thier nose and ruffle thier frills to show dominance. Often the one with the bigger nose has the higher authority. These pokemon can honk thier horn with thier telekinesis, a common trick in circus shows.

Ringiped

The Master pokemon

Water/Psychic

Abilities: Torrent (Hidden: Psychic Surge or Rivalry idk)

Height: 8'02" ft 2.5 m

Weight: 592.886 lbs 268.92 kg (actually don't know :|, I can't imagine the weight of thing)

Ringipeds are rulers of colonies of Popplio and Seacus, them having shared a telepathic connection. When thier territory is being encroached by a rival ringiped, they send immense amount of psychic energy from thier staff to attack the rival. If the bubble in thier staff bursts it causes immense psychic damage to all but the owner.

Ringipeds are pokemon who commonly appear in circus acts, often displaying psychic acts and saving acrobats who miss the net with thier telekinesis. Ringipeds are automatically the highest rank in thier colony. Conflicts between Seacuses are often broken up by Ringipeds showing thier authority by inflating thier nose.

Below are concepts for female versions because sexual dimorphism, shinies, and the better looking sketches

Wanted to make sure that despite not having a unique nose that the female version is interesting enough to not ignore

I wanted to replicate the ring master coat but I had a coloring issue with the female one which made me have to turn the undershirt pink which I do not like. Also kept the pink from popplios shiny because it looked cute

And the sketches

Image 1 : Hooded seal - Cystophora cristata

Fun Fact : Male hooded seals that are sexually mature are able to inflate a large red sac from one of its nostrils, about the size of a balloon. They do this by shutting the other nostril valve and inflating a membrane which comes out of the other. This is done to attract females / show aggression towards other males.(if u wanna see look it up<3) ^ ^

Image 2 : Harp seal (pup) - Pagophilus groenlandicus

Fun Fact : Harp seal pups (babies) are born with long white fur that helps them absorb sunlight to stay warm while they're developing blubber (as in the pic). Once they grow up they turn a light grey with short fur and dark grey spots. So cute! (о´∀`о)

Image 3 : Hawaiian monk seal - Monachus schauinslandi

Fun Fact : Once a year, hawaiian monk seals molt the top layer on their skin and fur. They do this to keep their coat free of algae. They're also one of the most endangered marine mammal species.

Prompt 122

“Have you met Seal Hood?” 

Dick paused almost mid-jump, having apparently turned to the wrong channel but also changed to the perfect one too. At least, perfect in the fact that he had just overheard an interesting thing from Jason, apparently forgetting that his comm was in fact on still. 

Damian must have answered, because Jason snorted a laugh. “You can try getting him to leave, he’s taken over my bathtub and keeps eating all my food.” 

Hold up, was- Dick had thought Jason was talking about a plush or something, but was he talking about a literal living animal seal??

“I’ll have you know I’m not going to make a poor little baby seal leave, and I’m not putting him in a zoo, brat.” 

Oh Gotham, it was a real living animal seal. Dick about faced, rushing towards Jason’s safehouse. How did he get a seal? Why was it in his bathtub?? Why hadn’t he called the proper people for this sort of thing?! He had to get to the safehouse now to see this shit.

Today's Seals Are: Weaner

[hyflix]

So seals drum their bellies to show aggression or to display their intent of courtship. I'm just imagining seal!Jason drumming his belly in front of Tim and Tim just slapping his stomach as well because he thought they were playing.

Whether Jason is trying to show dominance or flirt is up to you.

while i love that popplio line are based on sea lions in particular...i really wanted to play around with the bubbles more and use hooded seals as inspiration for some designs too :+)

[kittykatninja321]

controversially I do think that the under the red hood comic ending is a solid answer to “how do you get Batman to kill someone without breaking him as a character”
