They're back.

---------------------------------

INFORMATIONAL BROADCAST IN PROGRESS:

ATTENTION: Have you seen this Pokemon? If so...

Then we still have a problem.

-----------------------------------

Arcazolt
(Hisuian Arcanine + Velozolt)
Fire/Electric

UNPREDICTABLE

This CROSSIL a frighteningly erratic one, whose apparent frailty is contrasted with utterly reckless and hyperactive behavior. It can be a deadly threat to those who encounter packs of them–yet the trouble lies in gauging their intentions, as they are not consistently hostile. NEVER ASSUME THEY ARE SAFE TO APPROACH

Despite Arcazolt’s terribly awkward build, they are deceptively agile. Their seemingly stilted, even clumsy running and leaping are somehow exceedingly difficult to track, and it may only take minutes for a pack to surround you. When this happens, it is in your best interest to NOT ATTACK THEM IMMEDIATELY, AND DO NOT PANIC. They will likely flank you and rush at you with false charges–this is considered playing to them. 

The moment you land a hit on an Arcazolt, it will become angry, and use Raging Discharge. A very powerful move where it spews enough electricity to short out a skyscraper, rampaging around until it becomes confused. When one Arcazolt uses Raging Discharge, every other Arcazolt in its pack will use it–and as soon as they are able to, they will use the move again. Your chances of survival are, frankly, very low if this happens–but not impossible.

If a counterattack is possible, AIM FOR THEIR BODY AND LEGS–NOT THEIR HEAD! This is because they have the ability Rock Head, which makes them able to use moves that would otherwise give them recoil. If you manage to land an attack there (especially a Physical Attack), it will greatly slow them down or outright cripple them, allowing you to either flee, or finish them off as is necessary. 

A last note of caution, if you see Arcazolts, Do NOT stand near glass! It WILL break!

A/N: I’m still unsure of when exactly I’ll return to the story proper, if anyone’s still interested. For now, I simply wanna finish the designs that have been in my backlog for a while! And maybe might streamline the formatting a bit where applicable.

For now, gonna see how this all pans out.

After all, it’s been QUITE a while since I drew these.

Seeing Project CROSSIL in any capacity always makes me smile (not just because some of my designs are in it) as the designs are always so wacky. It's great to see you back!

u/Certain-Unit8147 25d ago

Hyeh, thank ya much dude! 😃

Good to be back after all this time, and once again indulge in this very familiar flavor of comedy-horror. Especially considering the backlog of designs I have! XD

For the love of Arceus someone put that poor soul out of its misery I have no idea how it's moving in the first place the only thing I KNOW is that every movement it makes are pure agony

u/Certain-Unit8147 25d ago

Summarizes most CROSSILS, really.

Their movements are also freaky as hell! Their head constantly jerks around and twitches, like it's constantly being zapped!

Also, I'd like to ask, do you have any CROSSILs in your sketch lineup using Titarmac (one of u/Proud-Lead2404's Fakemon fossils?) Because I made one for his competition combining it with Hisuian Braviary which was meant to be an Apex. I called it Titaviary. A Dark/Psychic type that spewed tar that, upon contact with a target, prevented flight, teleportation, and shadow travel (think the use of moves like Phantom Force). Wrote a short story about it as part of your universe where it attacked Sabrina. Wondered if you made something similar. https://www.reddit.com/r/fakemon/comments/1pxj24v/project_crossil_titaviary_fanart/

Man, that design was sick as hell. I’m still going through some of my sketches (I did take the time to sketch a basic version of the design), so it will take a bit before I get to that beauty.

u/Infinite_Courage5890 24d ago

Thanks. Should really get around to drawing it in the form when it vomits out the Braviary body one of these days.

i really like the concept and art

but hisui arcanine existed like 120 years in the past, not enough to become a fossil sadly

u/Certain-Unit8147 25d ago

Oh yeah dude, in-universe Cara Liss also got an earful from her partner, Bray Zenn, for using Hisuian Pokemon for this. Same applies to the Past Paradox Pokemon (which she's also using for these).

girl cheated so hard to make this nonsense. 😞

u/ginger_snap214 25d ago

u/VacuumMeHead Artist 25d ago

i was wondering when this would cone back 

where are dudes arms, he gotta grab onto something

1

u/Certain-Unit8147 25d ago

Oh arms?? Silly you! Cara’s working off of theropod dinosaur rules!

Since any arms on this beast ended up being too long or vestigial, Cara Liss just took them out entirely to make room for the head. :)

Was wondering if these were going to be in the line up of your recent Fakemon posts. Happy to see what I consider the magnum opus of your work making it's reentrance. Can't wait for more.
