This doesn't feel finished yet, but I'm not sure what else I should do with it... I may edit it more later if I figure it out. The grass is especially bothering me but I really don't know how to fix it. I'd also like to add more details since the setting still seems a bit plain, but I dunno if that'd be overkill. Edit: I've tweaked a lot of stuff - Ditto's lighting and head bumps, water texture, grass shading, and rock colors.

Anyway, Ditto has been my favorite Pokémon ever since I first played Blue. It's just so damn cute and squishy and unique! Most attempts at making it realistic seem to base it off an amoeba - that really doesn't make sense to me, besides being impractical, its dex entries specifically state that it's multicellular.

I imagine instead that it'd be more like a mollusk, sort of a cross between a gastropod and a cephalopod. It can change its color, texture, shape, and size at will - like an octopus, but more advanced. They're terrestrial but often found near water like most slugs and snails, though I imagine that they're not slimy (just squishy and rather smooth.)

Also, like many gastropods, Ditto is obviously a hermaphrodite species. The idea of Pokémon genetics breaks my brain though so I won't speculate on their ability to hybridize with everything under the sun.
