This was probably the toughest fakemon line for me to design. I knew that it was based off of a trilobite beetle, but I thought it would be interesting to treat it more as a literal trilobite. Designing bugs to look like space objects was way more difficult than I thought. The middle stage was almost supposed to be a mix of a UFO and a horseshoe crab, but that didn’t really work. The final stage was easier because I had a general idea of what I wanted it to look like, even if it took a lot of refining to get to this point.
At some point I realized I wanted it to be like one of the cuter/friendlier-looking pseudo-legendaries like dragonite and goodra, so I gave it those big eyes and a friendly personality. I’m not too surprised it didn’t make it in, but honestly i don’t have the energy to make any more fakemon after this one in the foreseeable future.
