Mastodon inspired Fakemon for Louisiana based Fan Game
Today we have fossil Pokemon based on the Mastodon! Fun fact: In 1980, a drilling rig accident on Jefferson Island in Louisiana exposed long-buried Ice Age skeletons. A mastodon tooth, jawbone, and a tusk measuring nearly six feet long were discovered! In fact, a lot of Mastodon fossils were "accidentally" found all throughout Louisiana! And today I present to you, Mossprout(Grass/Rock)! This pokemon is believed to have roamed the swamps of the Lebeaux region, grazing on the swampy reeds, while also relying on photosynthesis during droughts to maintain energy. The grassy patches on it's back changes with the season, with bright green patches indicating a healthy Mossprout, while a darker, more brown patch indicating sickness. Upon evolution, Mossprout evolves into Mossadon(Grass/Rock). This colossal pokemon hardly ever leaves it's nesting grounds, as it has all that it will ever need. Food, shelter, potential mates. In fact, it hardly moves at all, which allows it's mossy hide to grow all over its body in a symbiotic way. It provides warmth and protection, while also able to gather sunlight without obstruction. Thank you to the talented u/Puzzleheaded-Dust403 for the amazing drawing! Would love to hear feedback on design and lore.
