This diglett has adapted to some of the world’s driest climates known in the Pokémon universe. They burrow deep underground and siphon cool water from nearby aquifers. Once they reach the surface, the diglett will intermittently expel water from the sprout on their head, transforming the surrounding arid sands into a thriving oasis. Unlike their cousins, this breed of diglett is often sedentary. They enjoy forming symbiotic relationships with any Pokémon that reside in their habitat. The diglett will continue to multiply from itself as it evolves, creating megastructures that resemble fountains that can be found in some town squares.

I wanted to create a design that not only iterated from an existing IP, but mimicked what I thought was its style guide. When I designed the diglett, I kept multiplicity in mind along with motifs that the original diglett introduced.
