WIP
♫ ~ It's almost time, just gimme a sec / Nine thousand years gives you a creak in the neck ~ ♫
Since it seems we're leaning more away from the physical side of things for the competitive moves, I've unfortunately had to withdraw my swordfish design, so here's a sketch art of a more special-minded replacement: a deep-sea wizard based on the shark-man yokai called the
samebito and the fact that the goblin shark's name is a mistranslation of the Japanese term for it, which more accurately means "tengu shark". To this end I gave it wing-like fins and a coral pipe from which it blows bubbles for its non-physical attacks, though it still has clawed flippers and sharp teeth if it has to get up close and personal. There's also elements of wizards and actual goblins in there, with the single nostril on the snout being inspired by the Impidimp line. The patterning on the underbelly also references the denticles of actual sharks, i.e. visual shorthand for Multiscale!
I might have to draw supplementary art for this one at a later date that shows off more of its features and the way it uses its moves, dependent on which ones we go with.
