I mentioned in passing to my friend who drew this. "What do you think Zephia (my Sunflowmon) would look like if she crossed with lugia?" That happens to be one of my top 3 favourite pokemon.

And this was the result.

He credits his inspiration to Vale-City when he saw this during his research into lugia https://www.furaffinity.net/view/56282071/

I think there is enough differences for it to stand on its own.

Not sure what to call her actually.
