No. 914: Quaquaval

¡viva fiesta!
I get that this is a reference to the Carnival dancers, and that Quaquaval has turned from a duck into a peacock. But Carnival is usually associated with Brazil, not Spain. And if he's a peacock, he's a freaking ugly one.

You can't see it in this artwork, but Quaquaval summons a halo of water-feathers to act as a tail when in battle. It kinda looks like crap, though. And those Ikki the Phoenix feathers trailing from his hips don't help. Not to mention the bell-bottoms and freaky mutant toes.

Also the overall posture is just really off-putting to me, like why's he cranking that dumpy so far back? Calm down.


Overall: 2/10

  3. Yeah, he looks hideous and the design’s just an incoherent mess. If it weren’t for Skeledirge, this set of starters would probably be down there with the Galar ones.

      NAPACE supports the LGBT community, don't get it twisted. I just think Quaquaval sucks.
