#004 #005 #006 Charmander, Charmeleon, and Charizard

Charizard and other Pokemon show that being a dragon and being a Dragon-type are not one and the same. This means that, if done correctly, we can have dragons that are not Dragon-type and vice versa. This line was originally based on the idea of a dragon getting stuck in its egg, a la Togepi, therefore locking it out of its draconic potential. Admittedly, though, the design’s coloration and anatomy lends more towards a dinosaurian influence, but what’re you going to do?

Charmander uses the following additional sprites: Exeggcute, Togepi, Flygon, Egg

Charmeleon uses the following addtional sprites: Flygon, Egg

A Fakemon based on the Australian Black Kite, which is alleged to start wildfires to flush prey out of hiding.

Now because Talonflame already exists and was super close in its influence (red kites and fire), I had to be careful how I executed this one. Fortunately I found that in the Kestrel, and in the Black Kite’s supposed arsonist behavior, along with some bird species’ habits of carrying materials at the base of their tails.
