And so Q, in this week's Alphabeasts entry, is for Quagsire.
Quagsire seems to be some sort of kin to the Japanese giant salamander. His earlier form has feathery gills.
And apparently he's sort of a thing, at least for some people, though I don't understand why.
You know, as much as I enjoy salamandrine critters, I can't seem to summon my usual expansiveness ... or any interest in Pokemon at all. I'm sorry.
I guarantee I will have more to say about next week's critter. As a little tyke I even had the plastic toy that it was based on.

That is really cute!
Oh, he looks so jolly & squeezable! I don't often say that about salamanders...
He'd probably look a little less cute if I'd drawn him spitting mud, which is (I think) one of his attacks...
Splashy cute!
I can't believe there are SO MANY Pokemon. I only know about a few of them--my college friends liked them ironically, and my younger brother was the right age to watch the cartoon in the late 90's.
At some point, if human beings keep inventing new Pokemon and driving real animals to extinction, there will be more Pokemon than there are real animals.
But it will take a while. There are still a million species of beetle to account for.
