Smaugust Day 10: Vacation [ 2023 ]

This is Palmgona, a Grass/Land* Pokemon. I tried to evoke a bit more of a Gen I-ish feel with the face. It likes to lounge buried in beach sand, with only its tail sticking out. Other Pokemon and humans alike often mistake its tail for a palm tree. This Pokemon is so laid-back and relaxed that it often stays submerged for months on end without moving at all, absorbing all its nutrients through its tail's photosynthesis.

Its name is a combination of palm and pogona, the genus for bearded dragons.

[*Ground - I changed the name of the type in my canon.]

[Smaugust is an art challenge in August where one must draw one dragon a day.]
