4 species are featured here: The Tanninuki Line (Tanninuki, Belloruki & Babbanuki) & Terefugin, which I added "ears/horns" to in the final, as I got an idea that they could be mutated/petrified descendants of a certain water turtle final-stage... 0v0 I'll update with full Dex entries eventually, but I only have placeholder notes at the moment:

Background/Dev Notes: (Inspirations: Tanuki, Aquatic Plants, Periscope-Mimicry)

Tanninuki | The [Maiden] Pokémon | Water-Dark Placeholder reminders that these are 1) the most gregarious/mischievous, 2) periscope with their tails before emerging to play; and 3) hide inside and around the shells of Terefugin

Belloruki | The [Mother] Pokémon | Water-Ghost Placeholder reminders that these are 1) the mega-chonkers that do the heavy-duty cleaning, 2) have the longest, most luxurious “hair”; and 3) look after the babies when out and about

Babbanuki | The [Crone] Pokémon | Water-Ghost Placeholder reminders that this stage is 1) Memory-Made, 2) can be the best friend or worst nightmare; and 3) is the “Baba Yaga Boss” with a cane, eyes and ears throughout the territory.

Blish: Ugly Pokemon (overland forme*)

Water

Ability: Oblivious/Insomnia (Unaware)

A fish Pokemon dredged up from the deep, it seems to be in a constant state of malaise, an it whimpers and sighs when touched. 

Their thick, rubbery skin has a sticky texture and an odd odor, they show up on beaches at night and can't seem to move well under their own power.

Jawbish: Trapteeth Pokemon

Water/Ghos

Ability: Strong Jaw/Insomnia (Unaware)Evolves from BLISH at lvl 30, at night, underwater. Its sense of smell is incredible, it can track prey in the darkest of waters for miles without losing the trail.
