Fakemon Challenge #2 - CROAKET (Fire/Steel) The Rocket pokemon & BALISTICROAK (Fire/Steel) The Bombing pokemon
Based on the Suriname Toad and the way it carries its tadpoles on holes in its back and Missile Launchers (I have purposefully decided not to show you photos of the Suriname Toad and its babies because they can be quite upsetting, specially if you suffer from trypophobia, so if you want to see the toad in question, look it up under your own risk)
BALISTRICROAK uses CROAKETs as amunition and is able to launch them as missiles. It has the ability "Heat Seeker", with this ability if the oponent has the Burn status, BALISTICROAK moves cant' miss.

Uncharismatic Fact of the Day
Don't worry, this frog hasn't been squashed! The common Suriname toad is exceptionally flat due to its natural habitat, submerged under leaf litter in slow-moving rivers and ponds. However, when they feed they can ingest enough water to increase their trunk volume up to 1.5 times its original size! This species is the only known tetrepod with the ability to inflate their bodies in this manner.

If you like what I do, consider leaving a tip or buying me a kofi!

The Suriname Toad
this is from a near month ago so i have no idea if there was any kinda context or reason for this but thanks for the flat toads eitherway mpreg-jesuschrist
#they're great#bla bla bla#i have been informed suriname toads easily lead to some very bad pics if you're trypophobic#so maybe b careful with that if you wanna look them up some more

Every Dredge Aberration (2023), Part 2
Brood Squid
Encyclopedia #85
Aberrant form of Arrow Squid
Description:
Tentacles sprout from a glowing core inside a gelatinous sac. Other cores lay dormant alongside
Comment: The first aberrant I caught where the original being, if it ever truly lived, appeared lost entirely to the corruption. It has been hollowed out and made the bloated womb for a nameless invader. It invokes two visceral images in my mind’s eye. The first being an infected cell, swelling with viral load until it is bursted, spilling out with new capsules of infection waiting to start the cycle anew. The other is of those real squids in the world which brood their own eggs to hatching. They too, sacrifice the last of themselves entirely to bring their spawn into a hungry world.
How to catch: Another coastal spawner in The Marrows region, albeit only appearing after sunset. Can be gathered in trawl nets.
Snag Squid
Encyclopedia #86
Aberrant form of Arrow Squid
Description:
Tasting tongues writhe wildly around sets of yellowed, crooked teeth. The top row are flattened like human molars.
Comment: The first aberrant that made me recoil back in my chair with a grimaced “Euuh” sound when I saw it appear on my screen. To think of what caution such a thing must be handled with, lest the role of butcher’s hand and sustenance become reversed. The artwork makes horrible suggestion of one animal in a slow transformation to become many. This layered hunger promises terrible growth and sprawling if it is allowed to consume.
How to catch: Ditto
Barbed Eel
Encyclopedia #87
Aberrant form of Grey Eel
Description:
A spine broken with sharp angles and crooked curves. A row of teeth bent on revenge.
Comment: Fortunately for I, there exists frilled sharks with a more unnerving presence than this gnarled creature. It is much like the Marrows themselves, crooked and strange, but conquered easily. Hunger on, scoliotic elver, but you won’t be the one who feasts before the sun rises.
How to catch: This wretch and its kin will require an upgrade from the basic rod to bag. Fish during the day, around the shallow waters about The Marrows. I always found them mostly around the rocks. Can be trawl-netted with the appropriate equipment.
Host Eel
Encyclopedia #88
Aberrant form of Grey Eel
Description:
Numerous glowing shapes flicker and squirm behind a distended ribcage. The rest of the fish is withered and drained.
Comment: Could it be… another strain of what plagues the brood squid? Unlikely, but to the animal, the difference won’t matter- its fate mirrors the other all the same.
How to catch: ^Ditto
Cyclopean Flounder
Encyclopedia #89
Aberrant form of Gulf Flounder
Description:
A sprawling, jellied mass spills from a single eye socket. What appears to be a dark pupil is in fact the center of an egg.
Comment: Oh…. It’s a yolk. That’s the nucleus. Another life, traded for the potential of a new one. Neither encyclopedia nor the artwork help me address the question of whether or not this flounder carries a fertilized ovum, and frankly, I do not know which answer would unsettle me more. Mercifully, ironically, this change has blinded it.
How to catch: Active during the day, and dwells only in the shallow water of The Marrows. Can be trawl netted.
Riddled Flounder
Encyclopedia #90
Aberrant form of Gulf Flounder
Description:
Baggy skin perforated with countless cavities. A singular, shapeless mass spreads underneath.
Comment: Ah, I must wonder at this piece if the devs looked to the Surinam toad, and if they found such inspiration there that they created this. The semblance to one of the real world’s beautiful horrors is unmistakable.
If this were the intention, then the riddled flounder would be all the more foreboding a sight. While the flounder’s skin only shelters a single resident, the flat Surinam’s cavities are each protecting a tadpole. Something else that interests me about the grotesque flounder is that, like the other variant, this one has been rendered sightless. In place of its eyes are protruding siphons of a sort. Their function- unknown.
How to catch: ^Ditto

So when swans carry their babies on their backs it's cute, but when surinam toads do it it's gross? huh...

One thing I forgot to mention about Khare is that there was another set of DNA markers spliced into her genetic make-up, specifically that of surinam toads. Not only do they have considerable regenerative properties due to the way they breed, there's a good chance that down the line, she won't need another partner to start spawning perfect little replicas from her very flesh.

today i want to tell you about something in equal parts gross and cool. we're going to talk about the brooding strategy of seismitoad.
seismitoad's breeding is very typical of frog pokémon. mating occurs in the water, and fertilization is external; during amplexus, the female releases her eggs, and the male fertilizes them.
where things start to get interesting- and kind of unnerving to look at- is after the fertilization occurs.
seismitoad eggs are sticky to the touch, and as each egg is fertilized, the male presses it against the female's back where it sticks. eggs are clustered together in lumps mimicking the glands along the seismitoad's body. within a few days, the female's skin grows over the eggs, and her growing babies are perfectly disguised as little more than a few extra glands. when the time comes for the tympole to hatch, they peel their way out of the female's skin and swim off.
we believe that this method emerged in seismitoad because their lumpy bodies warn off predators- the number and arrangement of glands on their back varies from individual to individual, making it difficult for predators to discern what part of a female's back is glands and what part is disguised eggs. because the glands produce toxins of various effects, predators like fish pokémon that would normally prey on amphibian eggs won't risk attacking them. tympole are larger at hatching relative to tadbulb, suggesting that they also use the time period of subdermal egg development to allow their babies to grow to a size that is more difficult for predators to swallow.

Wallace's Flying Frog: This South Asian/Indonesian species’ most notable feature is that it can glide up to 15 metres by spreading the webbing between its toes! It’s not the only species that does this, (R. dennysii, for example, does as well,) but it is one of the largest and most striking. They also have a few other quirks: instead of laying eggs directly in water, the female creates a foam nest in the foliage above a small pool and the tadpoles drop into it when they hatch. Recent research discovered that when fed high amounts of carotenoids, (pigments in certain plants, fungi, and bacteria,) they’re able to change colour in response to environmental changes. And they’ve been known to eat small birds in the wild!
Surinam Toad: Found in Northern South America, this frog is most known for its odd brooding habits. The female’s back encloses around her fertilized eggs, embedding them into her skin. She keeps them there for the entire 3-5 months it takes the tadpoles to develop inside the eggs before they emerge as full froglets. Since they’re entirely aquatic and also tongueless, they’re opportunistic hunters and likely lunge at anything that passes by – maybe even their own species, since some have been found with frog skin in their stomachs! In order to have maximum suction for capturing prey, its major organs can move down a third of the length of its body.
