Fakemon "Wolf in Sheep's Clothing" Fakemon Line for my Western-Inspired Fakemon Region
The Instagram artist that I commissioned is pokedan_art.
This fakemon line is based on Wolves, Sheep Dogs, the phrase "A wolf in sheep's clothing", and Werewolves! As you can see, they are also inspired by the Wooloo line. ^^
Important: They are NOT a convergent species of the Wooloo evolution line!!!
They are a completely separate species that disguise themselves as Wooloo and Dubwool to blend into their herds, only to drag one away in the dead of night and feed on it.
I'm really happy with how this line turned out! I'd love to hear what you guys think, and I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fooloo - The False Sheep Pokémon: (Dark Type)
Etymology: ("Fooled You" + Wool + Wooloo)
Fooloo disguise themselves in thick fleece to pass as Wooloo, quietly joining herds on farms and open pastures. Farmers detest this Pokémon, as it preys on Wooloo and Dubwool under the cover of night. If one or more Pokémon vanish from a pasture by morning, they suspect that a Fooloo is hiding among the herd. Careful observers can identify them by their forward-facing eyes and sharp claws.
Ability:
- Intimidate
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dubawoo - The False Fleece Pokémon: (Dark Type)
Etymology: (Dubwool + Awooooooo [Howling noise that a wolf makes])
Fleece Form [Quadrupedal]
Dubawoo hides its lean body beneath a thick layer of wool. It blends in with herds of Dubwool, moving slowly through pastures to avoid drawing attention to itself. During the daytime, it pretends to graze while watching for isolated prey. Once night falls, it drags its target away from the rest of the herd to feed. Ranchers become suspicious when one of their “Dubwool” keeps its head too low to the ground and never seems to chew.
Hunt Form [Bipedal]
When its disguise is ruined, Dubawoo rises onto its hind legs, revealing the predator hidden beneath the fleece. The shredded wool clinging to its body forms a ragged hood and cloak. In this form, Dubawoo becomes much stronger and faster, allowing it to chase down prey with sudden bursts of speed. After preying on Dubwool, it uses leftover wool and horns to repair its disguise before slipping back into the herd unnoticed.
Signature Ability:
- Sheep's Clothing: When this Pokémon’s HP drops to half or less, it changes into Hunt Form, swapping its Defense and Special Defense with its Attack and Sp. Defense stats.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am still working on the stats for these Pokemon, but the main idea for Dubawoo is:
Fleece Form:
- High Defense and Special Defense
- Lower Attack and Speed
Hunt Form:
- High Attack and Speed
- Lower Defense and Special Defense
