My favorite scries of this boy I hatched for NotN, I can't decide which to go with

[buttersoftheshea]

Micub [Ground] Species: Sand Cub Pokemon Length: 0.4 m (1’04’’) Weight: 4.3 kg (9.5 lbs) Ability: Oblivious, Rattled Hidden Ability: Fluffy

Micub stats HP- 40 ATK- 55 DEF- 30 SP ATK- 60 SP DEF- 35 SPD- 80 Total: 300

Micub dex entry Micub has fluffy fur to blend into the environment, and because of this are rather difficult to spot. They make high-pitched chirps so humans and other Pokemon mistake them for common Flying-types. Although they’re rather skittish, they’re still playful and can be taught to not fear humans.

Serival [Ground] Species: Sand Cat Pokemon Length: 0.8 m (2’06’’) Weight: 15.1 kg (33.3 lbs) Ability: Sand Rush, Rattled Hidden Ability: Speed Boost

Serival stats HP- 60 ATK- 75 DEF- 50 SP ATK- 80 SP DEF- 55 SPD- 100 Total: 420

Serival dex entry A little more cautious than Micub, Serival has learned to hunt for itself, utilizing its large ears and long legs. It’s said in the past, a Serival fought a massive poisonous serpent to protect the emperor and won, leading to Serival’s evolution line to be held in high regard. Sometimes they can be found living in small groups.

Chrytah [Ground/Fairy] Species: Sand Cheetah Pokemon Length: 1.3 m (4’03’’) Weight: 51.7 kg (114 lbs) Ability: Sand Rush, Pastel Veil Hidden Ability: Speed Boost

Chrytah stats HP- 90 ATK- 95 DEF- 70 SP ATK- 130 SP DEF- 80 SPD- 135 Total: 600

Chrytah dex entry These Pokemon used to be considered as mythicals with how rare and elusive they are. Despite how powerful they are in battle, they are rather nervous and gentle, and require a lot of attention and care to help adjust to changes. Surprisingly, they still emit high-pitched chirps like Micub.

WOO, I did it guys, I redesigned the cheetahs-

So yeah, me temporarily remembering ancient Egyptians attempted to domesticate cheetahs, plus remembering Bastet and Mafdet made me think ‘I NEED TO REDO THESE’ and here we are.

Micub, I named after ‘mica’ (a mineral and a major component of sand) and ‘cub’ even if technically a baby cheetah may or may not be considered a cub- Listen cheetahs are more related to house cats than lions, okay? They might be kittens but like we already have a bunch of kitten Pokemon-

Serival, I named after ‘sericite’ (a type of mica... I think, it’s part of the ground okay) and ‘serval’.

And Chrytah, I named mostly after ‘chrysocolla’ and ‘cheetah’. Why chrysocolla? Well Chrytah’s design is influenced by ancient Egypt and they really liked soft gemstones like coral and turquoise. (Hence the turquoise motif on Chrytah, I just thought it’d look good and I turned out to be right.) And I was trying to find a way to have turquoise in its name until I found chrysocolla and it’s like... the same color-ish as turquoise. Plus, it sounds like ‘cry’ and cheetahs have their little tear marks that look like they’re crying. So, Chrytah! Also Google says Cleopatra wore chrysocolla because it was believed to keep violent people calm but I don’t know how accurate that is, it’s just a little tid bit I found.

Anyways, yeah. I guess after this I’m going to post some memes of my current Fakemon and then go on to make more Fakemon designs! Because my best friend said I’m unintentionally forming a region. And to a degree, I think I am. Oh well, I guess.
