Description Tentacruel are dangerous.

They live far out in the ocean and hunt large animals like Whales and even Gyarados.
Both have been found with large sting scars on their bodys where they have been attacked but failed.
The 'teeth' in an elongated beak. It is used to grip hold of prey while the stingers do the rest.

Tentacruels long tenticles drift beneith it as it waits for prey to accidentally swim into the forest of stinging vines.
They can make themselves look almost invisible by controlling the light that enters their translucent bodies.
Prey wont see them untill its too late.

In mating season they come together and flash at one another with their large red bulbs which have been named by sailors as the 'Rubys of the sea' or 'Devils eyes'. They are called the 'Devils eyes' because sometimes they mistake boats for food and drag them down into the sea.

Their sting can kill a full grown man instantly, so if training one you must know what your doing and should never capture on from the wild as they hardly ever listen to commands.

Hope you like it

Maybe based on the Giant sea monsters from the dinosaur age like mosasaurus or Liperodon.

Jaws tribute!

Tentacruel has always been a dreaded pokemon, but your drawing has transformed it into a devil. Is amazing the result.

See ya.

This is one of the best of pokemon evo. The picture is really great, and portrays the mood with perfection. The sight of the massive jellyfish under an already large ship is beautifully remniscient of a scale picture of a large sea animal.

The writing is good too. "a forest of stinging vines", very colourful, and animal planet-y.

And good writing on the stingers. The idea of a jellyfish with any hard parts seems really absurd, as is a jellyfish with a brain and eyes. But I'm certainly willing to suspend my disbelief in this case of wonderful pseudo-documentary art.

JoshuaDunlop In reply to Hergman [2009-03-24 23:37:02 +0000 UTC]

JoshuaDunlop In reply to Hergman [2009-03-25 13:16:54 +0000 UTC]

Thats fair enough just considering the amount of pokemon species and size of them, a natural food chain would be near impossible to sustain. There for there must be non-battle animals to work. In my vertion pokemon are animals/creatures that fit in this chain but with very fast regenerative abilities and battle caperbilities allowing them to be named or catergorised as 'okemon/ pocket monsters'. The other animals in the pokemon world are not exactly the same as the ones in our world either, just similar plus it then make sense when pokemon are named 'the mouse pokemon' or 'tiny bird' pokemon, if mice and birds didnt already exsist then they couldnt be named after them

Um, I don't remember if I commented on this already, but I'll do it again since it's really cool.

The way you depict it is, amazing, the way the size differs so greatly, and the side story to go with it? Genious. That is pure creativity right there. This is one of my favorite backstories, along with Lapras .
Great work, I love it.
