I can understand your pain that this Digimon doesn't get that much fan art...

It hurts when you're a fan of a Digimon who has never debut in a anime or a manga for that matter.

Ayo @abridgilliance pls don't block me for interacting w/ you it would be real cool to have the full art of this guy Aldamon too but I'm not going back

Oh so that explains why the designers made the kobolds of fer.al look more like werewolves than something reptilian looking. Especially the fact some of the developers had inspiration from various Japanese media such as the Shinigami's hint references Ryuk from Death Note.

This is a question that’s been bothering me, and after looking into it I think I get it

So kobolds first appear in Germanic folklore as domestic spirits. Kobolds are also considered mine spirits, causing cave-ins and tapping on things in the dark to scare miners

Think the elves from The Elves and the Shoemaker, but bastards

This association with mines and caves and bastardy gets them into the world of tabletop RPGs when Gary Gygax adds them to his fantasy supplement of Chainmail. Kobolds are later added to Dungeons & Dragons as a subterranean race of monsters

Here’s the important thing: due to a throwaway line in the rulebooks about the kobolds having doglike voices, the first artist to depict a D&D kobold gave it a dog nose

This is the beginning point in the divergent evolution

Kobolds in western TTRPG will notoriously become more and more reptilian with each generation, leaning on the interpretation of “chihuahua dragons,” but it’s at this time, heavily inspired by Dungeons & Dragons, that the video game series Wizardry begins

They brought the dog kobolds with them

Wizardry becomes extremely popular in Japan, inspiring JRPG series like Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy as well as manga series like Dungeon Meshi. And while in the west the kobold has become increasingly reptilian with each edition, the Japanese kobold has become increasingly canine

And this is why in the greater fantasy genre, kobolds represent everything from

To

To

And

The only monster Pal I care about

OH MY GAWN!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH AHHHHHH!!!!!!!

Someone asked for the full image of my HiAndromon OC, Murphy, so throwing that and a few other concept sketches of him I did back in 2017. He is a hybrid digimon, though doesn't stray too far away from the original HiAndromon design. Who he was named after should be obvious, and before he relocated to the real world he was more a detective than a peacekeeper.

In the real world he found himself doing much the same work once a joint human and digimon gov organization was formed to help with issues that involved digimon in some matter. He does anything from looking into missing person's cases, domestic issues, and tracking criminal movement to the stereotypical: helping old ladies cross the street and locating lost dogs. If he's on the scene, and there are no other pressing matters that needs attending to, he will offer his help, no matter how mundane the task.

Generally, a nice guy who is calm and collected. He's a little blunt, his humor often dry, and is known to give constructive criticism freely. He is also the person you want in the room when shit goes south, because his levelheaded and grounded demeanor helps others stay grounded, too. Has the patience of a saint, but has a habit of standing on one leg in a particular way when its stretched thin. He's quick to pick up on other people's mood, and does try to be motivating and supportive in his own way for those who need it.

He's a workaholic and happy to take on difficult or out of the way jobs that humans might put off due to lack of resources or manpower. On his free time he will go out to rural areas or places of nature to relax, observing birds and other creatures. Somewhat enjoys people watching as long as his surroundings aren't too boisterous, like the park, when he's unable to go out of the city.
