I wasn't satisfied with meganium's mega form so I tried making my own. Meganium has a very simple elegant design, one of it's key design elements is the slender neck contrasted against it's round chubby body. This visual element is lost in the mega design so I tried to bring it back here, changing the angle of the flower attachment plane to highlight the neck. The big flower was sort of inspired by those high decorative fan collars and feather collars in costumes. The extra frills on the antenna, feet, and tail were to keep it in line with mega design philosophy of "more is more". The antenna in particular were inspired by a common flower domestication mutation where stamens are converted into petals (ex: camellias), but something goes wrong and the organ ends up half way between a stamen and petal. There's 3 petals on each foot which doesn't show up well in this side perspective. I wasn't sure what to do with the tail so I just gave it a fan.
