Description I think everytime I draw an Official Pokemon my way, I think I'll include a little description like how I did with Darkrai and Celebi and Jirachi.

Nidoking are typically fierce Pokemon that are known to become increasingly violent when around other male Pokemon. With an armored body that's further reinforced with venomous spikes, Nidoking is a hard Pokemon to bring down. Although many have assumed that Nidoking's temperment is simply it's typical behavior, Nidoking are surprising gentle parents who guard their children and mates. It is also a powerful hunter, and it uses its tail to crush its preys bones before dragging it back to its family. Despite its hunting prowess, Nidoking and its kind are much more inclined to eat berries than flesh. Many trainers who raise Nidoking often find that it will begin to adopt a position similar to a bodyguard, defending its trainer as it would its young. This is believed to be a sign of a lone Nidoking's surpressed parental urges.

And yes, my design of Nidoking has hooves, not the weird single toe thing. I just don't like that thing.

Hooves work better. Good job on both the comment and the lineart (hard to find slimmer Nidokings around).

Thank ya! I'm happy you agree the hooves work. I honestly had no other idea on how to adapt the single toe thingie.

Awesome! I love Nidokings, I religiously raise them in every game I can find a Nidoran and Moonstone in. xD
The spikes and anatomy just scream total badass, love your design. Go Nidoking!

Thank you. The Nido family has always been a personal favorite of mine, as they just seemed like the most badass-looking of the entire first generation. I usually raise a few on every game I can find them in, too.

And thanks! XD I said it when I watched Spirited Away once after a Robot Chicken episode and just had to use it.

XDDD That last thing you said in your description amused me.

I like the way you draw Nidoking better than the official style.

"And yes, my design of Nidoking has hooves, not the weird single toe thing. I just don't like that thing."

Yeah...that line slays me. Glad ya like my take on this guy. I personally think the official style tries to make them too child friendly than they should look.

Nidoking's always been one of my favorites. In fact, he ties with Charizard. I wanted to show the big guy some love.
Glad ya like it.
