Artist's commentary
a few years back, lockstin on youtube made a video coming up with ideas for a physical counterpart to eevee, making a lizard thing. i decided to do my take on it!!! THIS TOOK A REALLY LONG TIME!!!!!!!! dex entires under the cut!!!
Mugini, Mutation Pokémon
The environment in which it’s born sways its development. These influences become more apparent with age. Mugini living in different climates have differently colored tongues.
Mugini’s evolution is determined by the environment it hatches in:
Deserzoa, Spade Pokémon, hatch in a desert
It digs into sand with its shovel-shaped head. The tunnels it leaves are too flat for most predators to pursue. Deserzoa burrows span across 30 miles of desert.
Petrazoa, Cave Dweller Pokémon, hatch in caves or underground
It clings to cave ceilings, acting as a stalactite. When its favorite prey, bat Pokémon, wander underneath, it drops straight down to impale them with its spines.
Metalzoa, Crush Ton Pokémon, hatch in a power plant or magnetic field
The ground is flattened with every step it takes, making it popular with construction crews. Its tail is magnetic and can detach, but no known force is strong enough to remove it.
Hercuzoa, Muscle Pokémon, hatch on a mountain side
It stands up using its weighted tail as leverage, though standing is difficult because of its underdeveloped hind legs. It grapples prey with its muscular arms and slams them around, until they stop moving.
Zephyrzoa, Daredevil Pokémon, hatch on ocean waters
This rare Pokémon glides 500 miles daily over oceans. It uses its head crest to detect changes in air pressure, taking optimal flight paths. They climb up high then dive, seeing who can open their wings closest to the ground without crashing.
Toxizoa, Warning Sign Pokémon, hatch in a city
A layer of toxins rests just beneath its skin. When threatened, a hormone reaction causes these toxins to light up. The bulbs hanging from its head store corrosive acids.
Kafkazoa, True Bug Pokémon, hatch in a forest or jungle
The scales on its body have fused to form armor plating. It disguises itself among insects, waiting for the moment to strike its next meal.
Necrozoa, Spirit Pokémon, hatch in a graveyard
A layer of dead skin clings to its body, trying to drag it to the next life. Mugini’s dormant third eye is exposed under this translucent skin, allowing Necrozoa to see wayward spirits to eat.
the evolution will be random if it hatches on a typical grassy route!
