issue 20. here is a collection of (what i personally consider to be) more rare animal species i have noticed in my hunt for bats. so far still no bats (and i honestly don't expect to see any since the zombot arc was primarily grounded)

ok fine. i'm gonna slowly reread all of IDW with the sole mission of staring very closely at the crowd shots and trying to collect every single bat character design in this stupid(affectionate) little furry franchise because i have two bat OCs and my life is a nightmare

#i think issue 3's butterflies might actually be the same design drawn twice but colored differently since they both have that little tie #i think the guy on issue 18's B cover might be.. an insect or crustacean..? POSSIBLY??#“rook why do you think rats/mice are rare” Vibes #(rodents and other small ground mammals are actually fairly prominent in the Boom franchise tbh)#wrt my opinion: sheep and goats and such are also EXTREMELY rare in the games obviously. but in IDW they actually pop up quite a bit so far #BUT still not as much as species depicted in the avatar creator like dogs/cats/wolves/birds/bunnies/bears/hedgehogs #there's also that mother & child from the end of 4 that i'm noooot sure what they're supposed to be. i always assumed kangaroos/similar?#but maybe they're actually something else. like maybe wombats/weasels? no idea honestly!#same for the star-shirt kid in kochalka/gray/graham's 2019 annual story. the shoes make them read like a kangaroo to me but idk!#twigpost #twigreads #idw sonic #the first village (penciled by Tracey Yardley) in issue 1 skews more towards species shown in Forces' avatar creator which is fun #the village in issue 2 (drawn by Adam Bryce Thomas) features some more unique designs like Lanolin as we all know #the village in issue 3 (drawn by Jennifer Hernandez) is the first to feature some less common species as well as lots of unique designs!#also ftr i'm not like. annoyed by this practice for mob characters. it is very easy to draw out one-off mobs as Default Dog Design #and i would NEVER ask an artist to do more work on things people will spend less time looking at when they have entire issues to work on #you should always cut the corners you can especially when you're on a deadline. especially a comic deadline #good lord i tag-talk too much
