There's a lot of small Pokemon out there. Quite a lot of those get a whole lot bigger as they evolve, sometimes to triple or quadruple their original sizes. Charmanders are just such a creature - going from a tiny lil' lizard you can hold in your arms, to a massive and powerful winged dragon! ...But sometimes, Pokemon don't always evolve. It's conditional at times, requiring specific items or criteria to be met. Even evolutions based purely on growing stronger require an active choice by the Pokemon. Most Pokemon love evolving, but occasionally, you'll find the Pokemon that is perfectly comfortable the way they are~ But given time, even such a Pokemon as this will still 'grow up', just not the same way as its evolving kin...

Take my boyfriend, Eragon, here. He's a bit lucky~ He can be your typical adorable lil' Charmander if he wants to, but in truth, he's nowhere near being a hatchling anymore. He could easily have evolved all the way to a Charizard by now, but he preferred otherwise. Of course, his body still pines to 'grow' - that's biology for you. Which is why it happens to be so...receptive...to Eragon's intake of calories.

Yes; since hanging around me long enough, my desires to gorge and be fat have rubbed off on the firelizzy~ But when he over-eats, instead of merely gaining a thicker body, he also gains a LARGER one - growing tall as well as wide! Sure, a lot of that food packs away into flabby fat, but just as much flows into his muscles and powers him up...quite a lot! A musclegut, would be the term...though Eragon prefers to call this his 'rawr char' form. I just call it his behemoth form, myself. ^^

If it isn't obvious, I rather love seeing my boyfriend in this thicker-bodied state~ I'm normally quite a big, flabby dog that towers over him a tad; but when he's like this, the tables turn quite completely! He's as tall as any human like this, and with the weight of three humans (at least!), so he can boss his purple pup around however he wants. There are no complaints from me; just lots of shy barks and blushing snouts as he treats his doggy-mate however he feels best~ <3 Ohh yes - Eragon is quite the soft-spoken gentlechar normally - he's Canadian, after all! - but when he gets like this, he gains the sort of draconic confidence and attitude that a Charizard would have~ Since it's him, it only makes him all the easier to swoon over, of course~

In the case of this image, Eragon isn't at his 'normal' behemoth weight quite yet. But as the wriggling meal in his gut indicates, he's currently working on 'bulking up'! In truth, the exact size and weight of his behemoth form is quite up to how much he consumes, but he typically likes to have plenty of flab to throw his hapless canine lover against...o-or in~ Even with this work-in-progress size, the confidence Eragon exudes is dead-obvious...just slouchin' and churnin', waiting till he has room open for more food. ^^

This was 1 of 3 AWESOME images Flame in a commission sketch collage I paid him for. ^^ (Technically there were a couple other pages too, some wips that look entirely different and that I might color at some point!) I really love how all these came out, and Flame was awesome for applying bonus coloring too!

This isn't me, if it isn't obvious; it's my lovely   eragoneater, sporting a very big n' sexy new form. <3 I normally don't post stuff I'm not involved in (though I am in part 2!), but since I was a big part in encouraging and helping design this sexy shape, and since I know a lot of my viewers love Chars, I figured it was only fair for me to post it too~ (Plus, Eragon insisted I do so, and I can't exactly say no to such a big 'ol scaly! <:3)

Even in this 'smaller' behemoth form, Eragon is sexy as heck, isn't he? Those orange tree trunks that are his thighs are just wonderful; you can only imagine how much he shakes the ground just takin' a casual step forward... <3
