Finally, the final stage of my starter trio.
If you cannot already tell, all of these are based on one or more creatures of Greek mythology. Here’s some details…:
Barberos is based on Cerberus. I gave it the poison type because Cerberus apparently had venomous saliva! Some depictions of Cerberus give him a snake tail. While Barberos’ tail isn’t a snake, it does loosely resemble a snake plant. I thought that was pretty clever… The bush’s venom can cause extreme pain, much like a gympie-gympie.
Spartant has now fully-embraced its myrmidon inspiration. While it still forges steel armor, it is now mostly a fighter. Its stingers can cause a fiery-hot pain, much like a real fire ant, except it’s actually super heated this time…
Stalimar is based on two mythological creatures: a hippocampus and Pegasus. Both were created by the sea god Poseidon, who apparently also created horses in general… In any case, this explains its water typing as well as its pride. Its signature ability, Stormcall, references when Pegasus carried Zeus’ thunderbolts into battle.
I had a lot of fun designing these. Do you like them? Do you regret your starter choice now!.!?!?🫥
