Fan starters: Angery Synapsid by FamiliarAlien

Fan starters: Angery Synapsid

FamiliarAlien

Over at tumblr like half a year ago I mentioned I wanted to make some starters based on my birth Province of Prince Edward Island, Canada.

One night I couldn't really rest so I actually got around to doing that finally! While I go into way more elaborate detail on the creative process over on my blog the basic for this mon is the only dimetrodon fossil that's ever been found in my entire country was found on PEI. Since Grass type starters tend to be based on extinct animals it was a easy choice. I mean beyond that there hasn't been an official dimetrodon Pokemon yet and that's really disappointing since they're such cool extinct critters.
Also some of the design choices (like having outer ears and a deer like nose) where chosen to make it more obvious this isn't a dinosaur. Dimetrodon probably were rather reptile like but they were basically part of a group of animals that would become mammals so it was a good nod to that.

So enjoy!
