Description i've been on a bit of a dry spell recently. i've been busy with school (got a 100 on my Psych exam, btw). also spriting is my main form of stress relief. so when faced with...less-than-favorable circumstances outside my control, i had two options: create a 5.0 earthquake in my house or make the token grunt pokemon for my conceptual game's villain organization. Zubat's getting its retirement.

Tuthuid moves the patterns on its mantle around to distract foes from its tail-tentacle with which it proceeds to smack them in their faces. it can stay out of water indefinitely as long as it stays moist.

i probably began to mention this somewhere, the villains are Alk'Dhuulq worshipers. they call themselves Thanatos. not Team Thanatos, just Thanatos. their goal is to bring the Great Tentacles One into our world to purge the world of strife by manually eliminating humanity's evils. which is a pretty way of saying they're going to invite an omnicidal, reality-warping squid-dragon fucking to kill all of us and leave our whole planet in ruin, followed by whatever the hell course nature takes.

all of their pokemon are tentacle-based. Tentacool, Tangela, Octillery, Nematon and this guy. i probably made something else they can use, but i can't recall off the top of my head.

This is going to be a fantastic evolution-line, can already taste it.

I hope you make it have moves like Camouflage and such, most people ignore the cool stealth stuff octopi do!

yeah. still thinking of what exactly to base it on, though.

i took Marine Biology in high school. it bothered me how my teacher said "octopi, squid, cutttlefish and nautiluses", without mention of vampire squids, even though they're just as distinct from octopi as cuttlefish are from squids. she also confused lampreys and hagfish. several times.

Terrible teachers are always pretty sucky, agreed. I was smarter than my Third Grade teacher, and she made sure to punish me for it. I made sure to have the greatest monologue in my entire life the day before I moved away, and it was awesome.

she wasn't really terrible, she just had a lack of total enthusiasm about "grosser" denizens of the sea, which someone teaching about sea life seriously should have regardless of the students she's teaching. sea otter this, penguin that....it's a good thing i was there. i don't know if me leaving with a 98 was just how the math added up or if she had a tiny, repressed piece of spite against me for upstaging her so often. one of my friends in the class even lampshaded it.

Oooh, I see! It seemed you were implying she was bad; which is my bad, heh. Also, seems you're a troper? Never hear lampshaded outside of troper-jargon.

Another squiddly Pokemon is always a plus. You can never have enough squiddly monsters.

i have to stop and think about what it'll evolve into, though. Scythe used the best idea already. and by that i mean the vampire squid that is also a heart.

Very cool for a grunt-type, and it would be epic if it got an awesome evolution, like how Zubat eventually became Crobat.
