Matterpillar

Matterpillar is the baby form of Dredderfly. It is a skeletal caterpillar that is undead.
==History/Lore==
Matterpillar are curled into balls when they are first born. After a few minutes, they begin moving. They are decomposers, meaning they feed on the dead rather than plants (what you'd probably expect Matterpillar to eat). Their Dredderfly parents may not always be around, but thanks to their ghostly powers, they can sense when their young are in danger and instantly manifest to protect them. As Matterpillar mature, they become larger, and eventually, their head pops off their skeletal body. It is then that they become Doocoon, and after a few weeks, they become Dredderfly, and the cycle continues.
==Stats==
HP: 69
ATK: 31
DEF: 37
PRI: -2
CRT RT: 9%
CRT DMG: 1.6x
Regular Attack: Matter Munch (Matterpillar nibbles on the enemy. This attack deals low damage to a single target.)
Special Attack: Thick Skull (Matterpillar rams his skull into the enemy. This attack deals decent damage to a single target and may stun the target.)
===Stat Analysis===
Matterpillar is very weak. For his regular attack, he nibbles on the enemy, dealing low damage to the selected foe. For his special attack, he rams his skull into the enemy (amazing how a bug with no brain can still do battle, let alone do anything). The bash deals decent damage to the selected foe and may stun the foe, rarely. In short, Matterpillar is not that good. Avoid using him.
===Item Drops===

==Relationships==
===Trirp, Barcheep, and Wirden===
Matterpillar have been known to nibble on Wirden nests. If the parents find out, Dredderfly will step in to ward them off.
===Firspryt, Flairy, and Pixiblaze===
Fire is Matterpillar's weakness. Not even Dredderfly can handle the heat!
===Popby, Bubunch, and Bubblist===
Matterpillar isn't bothered by Bubblist's popping fists. They just go straight through him. Thus, Dredderfly isn't needed usually.
===Doocoon and Dredderfly===
As Matterpillar mature, they become Doocoons, then Dredderflies. Once they are fully mature, they start the cycle all over by birthing several more Matterpillars.
===Colderpillar, Icicoon, and Frostyfly===
Matterpillar have a hard time dealing with Frostyfly's wrath. Dredderfly isn't much help, either. Thank goodness they live in different parts of Planet Ch'in!
===Zerpip, Slitherbolt, and Gigavipe===
Matterpillar and their Dredderfly parents don't dare venture near Gigavipe turf. They'd rather not get electrocuted or get a blast of dragon morning breath.
===Harmutt===
Matterpillar doesn't do well with Harmutt because of its fiery fangs. One bite from those and it's game over. Dredderfly is no help, either.
===Melodragon===
Matterpillar and Dredderfly don't venture near Melodragon turf because a blast of fire from that thing kills them.
===Polygan===
Matterpillar and Dredderfly may be ghosts, but that fir still burns! Polygan's fiery breath is a danger to Dredderfly and their Matterpillar young.
===Chillder===
Chillder is a serious threat to Matterpillar. It's not like Dredderfly can stop it, either.
===Outlit and Shoutlet===
Matterpillar isn't afraid of Shoutlet's electric voice. If it tries to get physical with Matterpillar, Dredderfly will handle things.
===Destructoom===
Destructoom is dangerous for Matterpillar and Dredderfly. If it explodes, bones will fly, that's one thing for sure.
===Mockpuppet===
Mockpuppet scares Matterpillar. Its ghostly hand could crush poor old Matterpillar... but what will Dredderfly do about it? Anything?
===Mekra and Mekrustation===
Mekrustation doesn't scare Matterpillar. Sure, it might get cut in half, but it's rather small, making it harder to get ahold of.
===Bigwouth===
Bigwouth could easily cut Matterpillar up... that is, if it could survive on land. Thank goodness it can't.
===Sodo, Drifdump, and Garbluuge===
Garbluuge isn't that big of a threat to Matterpillar. Now, if it was able to harness the powers of fire or ice... then it might give Matterpillar trouble.
===Tictoc and Timure===
Birds like Timure find prey like Matterpillar tasty. However, Dredderfly won't let them off so easily.
===Curser===
Curser is a threat to Matterpillar thanks to its wicked flames. Dredderfly can't compete with Curser, so if its kids get killed by Curser, it won't avenge them because it's a losing battle.
===Allyke, Irevol, and Mettamonst===
Mettamonst is a very tough foe for Matterpillar and Dredderfly. One false move and they'll be cast back into the darkness...
===Boomblaze===
Boomblaze is very dangerous to Matterpillar. If it stumbles upon a Boomblaze, it better hope that it's not dinnertime. Dredderfly doesn't get it easy, either.
===Armordillo===
Armordillo is very tough to beat, even for Matterpillar. Dredderfly has no easier a time beating this behemoth.
===Octopois===
Matterpillar doesn't have to worry about Octopois. Since it lives in the water, Matterpillar is safe from its poisonous spikes...
===Razine===
Razine is resistant to Matterpillar and Dredderfly's ghostly magic. There must be some way to beat it without becoming poisoned... right?
===Psiroch, Folden, and Snappaw===
All three of the Rock-Paper-Scissors Trio are powerful on both Matterpillar and their Dredderfly parents. Thank goodness only one of each exists.
===Reversia===
While she may be fine and dandy in her regular form, making her mad is a mistake. Matterpillar is weak to her when she's mad. Dredderfly can't help Matterpillar out of this one, either.
