Description
Paper Mario/Mario Story sprites for a redone, multicolored versions of Shellcreeper, an enemy from the classic Mario Bros arcade game and its many rereleases.

Years ago, when I submitted my previous custom Shellcreeper to Spriter's Resource, commenters...didn't like it for various reasons. They felt it was too different (even though the design combined elements from various Shellcreeper designs into one) and drastic a departure. While I take pride in the one I made, I could see where they were coming from and put the idea of a redo on my "to-do" list.
Years later, I decided to finally revisit Shellcreeper. This time, he's designed very closely to the ingame pixel art. The only change is the stone toes from some older official art and from my v1 design. I also made various colors so stronger variants could appear in a bestiary in later areas of a fantopic. Alongside the three official colors is a gold color, possibly for rare variants.
Regarding the new sprites' useage, since certain elements in Mario Story Fruit Shake relied on the v1 design, and I'm already doing a lot as is, those elements will stay the same. For now, we'll just say the Shellcreepers in Fruit Shake, as well as any other Shellcreepers using that design (coughshadestheshellcreepercough) are local to the Frutta Archipelago. Fantopics following Fruit Shake will use v2 instead, only featuring v1 if necessary.
