#derle

Felt like giving a peek of a handful of the many faces that can be found in the Necluda Megapod and how diverse each individual can be! Specifically, some of the members of Zalfe's communal sub-pod!

Zalfe has a relatively small sub-pod by Necluda pod standards consisting of only 45 members. Some members are related to her by blood, but a majority are not!

The members of her pod that are related to her by blood in the image are her mother Loqua, her father Kohv, her grandmother Hurna, her nephew Derle.

👩‍👩‍👧‍👦Character with their family members Loqua and her daughters, perhaps?

Decades later and you still aren't capable of saving your friends from monsters, Fjord.

👩‍👩‍👧‍👦Character with their family members

(From left to right we have Daelu, Derle, Zalfe, Loqua, Caspia, Tilda, Ilnu, and Lyrova)

Loqua love's all her babies and grandbabies but her older two's gossipy nature drives her mad!

Sona & Derle or Ilnu or any of the critters

This is exactly the kind of stuff I was hoping for! Some good ol wholesome platonic kisses are also welcomed. Zorphin kiddos love to be smothered in affection.

Trick or Treat! I've tried sending this ask 5 times so if you get 5 duplicates... Well then, that's 5 times the Halloween cheer! Ohoho!!

Derle is a lil scared of all the spooky costumes. But he offers you a fish he caught all by himself.

I revealed a couple of these in a stream a little while ago, but after seeing @tides-that-bind-us release the ones for their amazing characters, I was also reminded that I hadn't fully posted the list for my goobers! Fjord: (Asgore) Fun fact, this was the song that also inspired me to make Fjord and just his overall vibe ngl. So it's only fitting that this would be what he'd sound like. (Jonnathan Frizbee) is an extremely close second. Zalfe: (Annapantsu) Originally, I played this on stream as an example of Zalfe's voice, and while I think it really fits her bubbly side. But I am also leaning more towards Evan Rachel Wood for her performance as (Marianne) due to it fitting Zalfe's vibe a lil more I feel.

Loqua: (Plio) Honestly, Loqua was one of the hardest to narrow down, but after rewatching a favorite movie from my childhood, I settled on Plio because she sounds equally as sassy as she does motherly, and I think it best fits Loqua and her personality.

🤫 and something juicy from Zalfe

For da babies:

Vipt: is one of the handful of kids in the pod who isn't a Zora at all!

Ilnu: is allergic to squid and octopus.

Tilda: Despises the color brown. To a concerning degree.

Dinahi: once saw land people break a bottle on a boat for good luck and now constantly tries to throw things at passing boats hoping to bring them good luck.

Brin: is the king of Acapello Cove. He says it's the truth and you better believe him.

Derle: collects snail shells. Sometimes the snail is still in its shell and he gets upset when he finds a prized shell has wandered off.

I'll do him and both his parents!

📂 Derle: He is an itty bitty thing at just 2 weeks old. He does little else but eat, sleep, and be carried around by his family members. But, he's just starting to work on his vocalizations and it's the cutest thing to hear his little baby chirps and clicks trying to harmonize along with the pod.

📂 Daelu: Daelu isn't a very Playful for Zorphin at the present moment. In fact, he's quite serious and nastily aggressive towards many others. It's not their fault he's a new dad and takes his role protecting the nursery very seriously.
