I've Been Celebrating OC Love Month In My Discord And We've Gotta Celebrate The Antagonists As Much As

I had a random Bug Fables dream the other day where Team Snakemouth (Leif in particular) was being pursued by this shapeshifting creature that was taking their forms to attack them. None of them knew why it was coming after them until they were running away and ran into another moth. Outside of having a white shell and being older (physically speaking), the moth looked nearly identical to Leif. That’s when the team realized the shapeshifter was after THIS guy, and it had mistaken Leif for being him.

Also random moth dude ended up being the leader of an entire moth clan that Team Snakemouth decided to help after that encounter.

Maybe one day I’ll doodle this, but for now enjoy the cool dream I had (or at least, the part of it that made sense, lol)

Take a wild guess as to which Zelda enemy I hate the most XD

This probably has to be one of my most infamous moments in my streaming history. It never matters what game it is, redeads are AWFUL!

Behold! The BUGGOS as traditional RPG classes! (That wasn't what it started out as, but by golly, that's what it finished as, lol)

Kabbu is a warrior, Vi is a rogue, and Leif is a spellcaster!

Some headcanons I thought of while doodling this:

Vi's secret stash is full of stolen goods (Or as she calls it, "unknowingly donated" goods).

In place of his horn, Kabbu fights with a spear, though he may occasionally headbutt using his horn.

Leif is blind and uses his magic to sense the world around him (think like Toph/earthbending).

I ship them so hard, Your Honor

Headcanon: Monomon, Queen of the Oomas/Uomas

Monomon is the “Queen” of the jellyfish creatures that inhabit the Fog Canyon, but not in the traditional sense. She does not have a monarchy that she governs—She is the “Queen” that her “hive” serves and protects.

Like normal jellyfish, the oomas and uomas are like a bundles of nerves. They cannot see or hear, but they react to changing stimuli in the environment. The only one among them able to think independently, to see and hear the world around them: their queen, Monomon.

Before the rise of the Pale King, Monomon was incapable of higher thought. However, she was clearly more intelligent than the primal beasts that roamed the depths. She had a very strong sense of curiosity, which the King learned when he’d found a hidden stash of tomes and journals in her possession. Inspired by her desire to learn, he granted her higher thoughts along with the other bugs of Hallownest.

With her mind expanded, Monomon began to learn as much as she could about the world around her, including the nature of her jellies. She knew that they would respond to her mental state, but she didn’t know the specifics. There was clearly a pattern they would follow depending on her emotional state:

When she was happy or excited, they would gravitate to her and cling to anything around her. Her theory was that they wished to partake in whatever was causing her joy.

When she was upset, they would grab anything around them and bring it to her. She believed they are trying to cheer her up by presenting her with gifts.

When she is scared/angry, they turn hostile and attack anything that draws near. This seems to be a primal instinct to protect the queen when she senses danger.

It wasn’t until she took on her apprentice, Quirrel, that she was able to learn more about their behaviors. Since they behaved in response to her, there was no way for her to see how they reacted without her presence. But with Quirrel able to study them away from Monomon, he learned that the strength of the reactions that the jellies had was entirely dependent on their distance from Monomon. The further they were from her, the weaker their reaction. This has led Monomon to believe that she is unknowingly emitting pheromones out into the environment that they are sensing and responding to.

With this knowledge in hand, Monomon began an experiment to see if she could teach any of the jellies to ignore her pull or think somewhat independently of her. This would eventually lead to the creation of Uumuu—a being that was created solely for security purposes. It would be able to ignore her pulls so that it could remain vigilant, and had been taught to identify threats without Monomon having to identify them as such beforehand.

When Monomon became a Dreamer and was sealed away, it turned the Oomas/Uomas completely docile. Without their queen to guide them, they merely drift aimlessly, awaiting the call of their queen once more. The only exception: Uumuu, who still spends their days guarding the sleeping Monomon from any intruders who dare try to wake her. But with the infection slowly overcoming it, and without Monomon’s guiding tentacle, Uumuu has lost the capability to differentiate friend and foe. Even in the presence of a familiar face, it can only follow what it was trained to do:

Protect Monomon at all cost.

It’s one thing that I’m accident-prone IRL. It’s another thing when I’m accident prone in-game, too. I wish I could say that this is the only time something like this has happened, but... it’s not XD
