Pyukumuku

And another one: the axolotl, the animal the Mudkip line is based off of

>>28092745
Qaugsire is based on the salamander. I don't know what pokemon is based off the blue dragon, maybe shellos?

Pistol shrimp, bee fly, peregrine falcon, Microraptor gui...

>>28092745
The giant salamander is Quagsire, and I think they are suggesting the sea slug is Lugia.

Forgot about mudskippers, it's probably based off of both.
There's defintely some axolotl in it, though. They both have the gills

How come Clauncher's counterpart wasn't a Goby fish?
Better question: How come there hasn't been 2 Pokemon that have a symbiotic relationship theme?

>>28093128
Mudskippers don't have fucking legs, external gills, or cute dopey smiles. Just because a pokemon's name refers to an animal doesn't mean it's design has to

Mantine and Remoraid.

>>28095941
remoraid and mantine?

>>28096147
Oh you're right
But I was thinking more along the lines of 2 Pokemon whose entire theme are blatantly obvious as symbiotic relationships
Like a water buffalo and oxpecker

>>28096174
It's probably because Pokemon established their idea of symbiotic relationships fairly early on as being rather distinct in execution.

Like Slowpoke and Shellder
