Description
After not spriting for awhile, I've finally decided to start making some laguz sprites! This is my set of beast laguz. :3I left the lion out though, simply because there aren't any enemy lions in my fanfic and thus, I don't need to make an enemy lion sprite. I'll make a lion sprite when I introduce an actual lion character. xP
Also, as you can see, I've decided to implement laguz class changes! How they change to stronger classes is much like how a beorc promotes, only the laguz call it metavolution. It means that they "evolve" in a sort of way into stronger and more advanced versions of their animal forms. The human forms are left unchanged for the most part. However, unlike the beorc, the laguz must use a certain item to change into these elite laguz classes since they cannot do so naturally. That item is the Satori Symbol (the name, as you might guess, is from the Satori Sign from FE10, which can grant any laguz above level 30 their mastery skill).
Also, as with the beorc's promotions, when the laguz reach their metavolved state, they automatically gain their mastery skill. :>
By the way, the tiger was done completely from scratch. First time I ever attempted a full custom sprite too!
Next: Bird laguz!

You know something? There should be other canine laguz below the wolves.

Well, there's not. Wolves are the only canine laguz so far. I didn't want to add in a new kind of laguz yet anyway. I already decided to add blue dragons. xP

I'd rather use fox. But as I said, I'm not planning to introduce anymore kinds of canine laguz right now. xP

Interesting idea, that metaevolution. The "growth" of the evolved laguz is a nice touch, such as how the evolved laguz look larger and have such features as thicker manes and larger claws. I am curious though, about whether an alternate adjective is possible. Maybe, rather than 'Elite Cat,' it could be 'Feral Cat' and, rather than 'Elite Wolf,' it could be 'Dire Wolf.' Well, just a thought. I'm curious about which birds will be present as enemies, looking forward to finding out. Nice work and catch you later.

Thanks, Falchion! Dire Wolf sounds cool, but I dunno about "Feral Cat" since Feral ones in FE were basically berserk laguz. xP
But yes, metavolution works very similarly to actual evolution, only it's obviously a much faster process. The main features of the laguz animal form improve, like, as you said, bigger bodies, larger, sharper claws, thicker/longer fur (as well as tougher skin), etc.
Oh, and all three birds will appear as enemies. Enemy herons just won't be as common as the other two.

Not bad. What would the elite tiger be then?

'Dominant Tiger,' perhaps? Or, maybe 'Tiglon,' which is a Lion/Tiger hybrid? Tigers don't travel in herds or prides so, most of the criteria I had going it just went out the proverbial window.

Hrm, maybe I'll just use the term "wild" as a prefix for both the elite cat and elite tiger. Is that alright?
I've got the perfect name for the elite heron though! Majestic Heron.

Sounds great! Maybe the evolved form of the Raven could be Storm Crow. Wouldn't Tibarn get a kick out of that?

Heh, I bet he would, but I'll see what I can come up with first.

For the Hawk, how about 'War Hawk' or 'Raptor Hawk?'

Anacybele In reply to Falchion1984 [2011-08-01 07:03:06 +0000 UTC]
OMG, I actually already thought up Raptor Hawk! XD
What about the raven though? I thought of Swift Raven, since the raven laguz are supposed to be fast.

Wow, great minds think alike! Anyhow, I'm reviewing the bird one now. Also, good call on renaming the Tiger. Catch you later.

Anacybele In reply to Falchion1984 [2011-08-02 00:55:46 +0000 UTC]
Agreed! :]
And yeah, I thought of "Saber Tiger" at the last second lol. Laguz tigers actually have saber teeth, and the metavolved tiger I have here has even larger and longer saber teeth than the normal tiger, so yeah, it fit. :]

That works nicely, good one.
