Entry to 2019 Uncommon (Fakemon) Contest

Happy New Year! Unfortunately I wasn't able to add shading to these mons and had to rush a bit with the colours but I like how they turned out. Based off treehopper insects with the weird heads, I didn't have much of a plan with designing this and was just playing around with the shapes until I ended up with something. Names are based off nymph (juvenile insects) + honeydew (what they secrete) + sclerite (hardened exoskeleton) + thorn (thorn bug is another name for treehoppers). For the descriptions I took inspiration from the real life interaction of aphids and ants... nothing to do with treehoppers but aphids make honeydew but ehhh

If any of my weirdo discord friends find this, thanks for giving me some feedback even though I didn't use much of it ashdjkfla
