Finally got around to coloring in this sketch I made in summer 2022, this was a traditional drawing. Just extracted lines to save time, I am *kind of* happy with this though the design is blinding and unappealing. There is something so nostalgic about it though, so I haven't redesigned the colors. This character was designed in 2016, here are some facts child me wrote:
INFO:
- Line patterns are small details on the creature's shell. They are more for design and texture, an example would be the spiral markings on the shell of a snail.
- Legs across the belly have the ability to fold up or extend out, they resemble the legs of a Hermit crab. They are there to aid with movement and help Iztlacoatl climb up steep surfaces.
- Spots with fluorescent yellow coloration are soft and more vulnerable than other parts of the shell, including the horn. The shell there also secretes a sweet smelling mucus through tiny pores in the shell's structure, these pores weaken the shell and cause it to crack easily in those spots. Mucus is probably to attract prey.
- Iztlacoatl does have a mouth but it is hidden. Their mouth folds up into their upper jaw, it is thought that this is to protect their mouth & keep parasites from entering. In order to see their mouth effectively you would have to either lift their head or wait for them to open it.
- The shell contains a venomous substance which, causes vital organs to shut down and turns blood into jelly. If fragments of shell are broken and enter your skin or if you are stabbed by a piece of shell [Since the edges are very sharp] you risk organ failure and death.
- Pinchers are very strong and help Iztlacoatl lift prey twice their weight, they also help with carrying prey to their nest for later. The pinchers cannot close all of the way and will always remain somewhat open. These resemble a centipede.
- Iztlacoatl's element alignment is electricity.
