Alright... Crundles. I'm assuming they're the Brumble/Crundill on the Wiki and I did this assuming Normal all the way through, but there's some dark and fighting moves in there too, just for flavor. I'm gonna avoid spoilering code blocks for now.

Headbutt could easily be swapped in for Horn Attack, but they do almost exactly the same thing, so it feels a bit weird putting both in. For an ability, I've got a few to choose from. Hyper Cutter (Attack can't be reduced), Hustle (increases Attack by 50%, reduces accuracy by 20%), Shell Armor -> Battle Armor (both prevent critical hits, difference is just for flavor based on the loss of the shell helmet during evolution), Run Away (guarantees escape, even through moves that prevent escape), and Vital Spirit (prevents sleep). Also, we can have 2 abilities per mon and it'll just randomly pick one of the two when you encounter one in the wild.

When we discussed it, the creator wanted something along the lines of "death from a thousand cuts", so moves like Fury swipe definitely fit. Generally, I see them as being sweepers, so what you've got there seems really good (as usual!)

Maybe throw some sort of bite move in as well?

[monk12]

If we really don't want to go the Cave Swallow route for a cave flier, we could roll with Cave Floater as Flying/Poison, or Hungry Heads as Flying or Flying/Dark. I think I still like Cave Swallows for early in the game, though, with those two being prevalent in later caves/tunnels.

I was thinking of Crundles as being some kind of swarming Mankey, but I like Troglodytes as cavern Fighting types better.

If Crundles are Ground, then we don't have a Normal type in the first route (or first couple routes, as the case may be.) I was intending the Kitscuit line to be pure Normal, they could work as a low-tier Mon. The downside being those are Mons I doubt I can make decent sprites for (I guess a picture of a biscuit with a :3 face?)

FAKEEDIT: Ninja!

I read Crundill and think of a pickle    I'd give it Hyper Cutter and Hustle, and I wouldn't touch the moves. Although Shell Armor would be cool for the animal-people, whom I hope will be part poison.

[Bluerobin]

Oh BITE! I meant to put that in and completely forgot. Maybe Crunch instead of Sucker Punch?

I totally thought of pickles when I saw Crundill too.

[GlyphGryph]

I should post the chat log. I mentioned there that when I came up with the name I really wanted him wielding a pickle (shades of Farfetch'd) but it ended up seeming a bit TOO absurd.

I still think crundle makes more sense as normal than ground, so I like it the way it is.

Cave Swallow is cool with me, though I like the other two suggestions as well!

Having a poison mon on the first route would certainly be delectably cruel. Heheh. In fact, having a poison mon common on many of the routes would be wonderfully "fun", I think. ^_^ Crundles, Floaters, and Helmets as our commons?

I was thinking of a honey badger themed ground type line, but I'm not sure how to make the design look like anything more than a cartoony badger. Any suggestions?

[GlyphGryph]

I think I could work with that. Think Honey Badger combined with a pangolin.

[monk12]

HONEY BADGER! That was it, Ground/Bug themed. Starts as a Badger (Ground) -> Honey Badger (Ground/Bug) -> Giant Honey Badger (should it be 2 stage or 3 stage?) Starts off as a normal looking badger but white/green instead of white/black, then evolves into some bizarre bee/badger cross. I'm thinking bipedal, mandibles, compound eyes, antennae.

[GlyphGryph]

Flavour is that a bug egg is laid in the badger when it's young, and the bug it hatches eventually grows inside it, subsuming it, until it's eventually just a bug wearing a badger skin?

Like paras, but between two different families ^_^

I think 3 stages will work to really cement the horror of the transformation, but it will definitely need a better name. As will the Floater and Helmets.

[Bluerobin]

I'm going to laugh if a majority of the birds come from underground routes.

Booze mons?

Eagle mon? Maybe Eagle -> Skeleagle? I feel like we should try to go light on the thing -> skeletal thing mons, though. Maybe just one or the other as a no-evolution mon?

[GlyphGryph]

Necrostone. Monsters that become undead should/will do so through exposure to it.

Also, Skeleton Eagle name is clearly The Skeegle.

Skeegle evolves from Reegle with necro stone. (Regal Eagle Raptor)

Reegle evolves from Seegle. I think you can figure out that one.

I love this line already.

Seegle => Reegle => Skeegle

[Bluerobin]

Skeegle, skelk, skeletal marmots? Are there other commonly referred to skeletals?

[GlyphGryph]

Fish, but we've got those covered. However, much like Boatborn is the necrostone applied to a magaphant, we should probably have a non-skeletal fish that turns into an Uncarp.

I think 4 skeletals is probably good. Remember to throw some ghosts in there as well. On the other hand, 6 skeletons would let people play a full skeleton team, which I'm sure they'll want to do. We should probably add 2 more.

People can have fun trying to capture every mon in the game and attempting to necro-stone it.
(too bad we can't make it outright kill/delete mons it fails to evolve, huh? )

[monk12]

I think there needs to be a Flying/Electric Chicken, Birdsplosion.

Seegle -> Reegle (Giant Eagle) -> Skeegle (via Necrostone)  Actually, we could reflavor that stone to be a Tome, since that's how Necromancy currently(ish) works in DF. The other main skeleton folks regularly encounter would be Skelephants, but I think we've got that base covered

Hoary Marmots need to be Ice or Normal/Ice- named Hoarfrost. Because the alternative is a prostitute Pokemon.

And yeah, most of what I'm saying is just general concept- my names tend to end up terrible.

[GlyphGryph]

You act as if Hoarfrost won't just become a frigid prostitute pokemon, heheheh.

I absolutely fucking love the Tome Stone though. I'm finding your brain incredibly impressive right now.

I will admit to being easily influenced by awesome puns.

Tome Stone it is!

Anyways, I think Elephant would work too, as we've got a non-magma elephant species that will be going in as well. This will give us:

Magaphant -> Boatborn
and
Mr. Tusks -> Skelefaint

I can live with that, especially since the first is probably a less than useful evolution mostly there for fun.
