Smoglet

## Extra

### Cry

**Smoglet** is an Unamon of double-type, Fire and Ghost. They are a part of the first era of Duspian creatures to be discovered and protected. They are naturally found in the Antiga Region.

They can evolve into Flamura and then later on into Ignantom.

## Biology

Smoglet is a bipedal, chiropteran Unamon with a primarily brown body and big orange eyes rimmed by black sclera. It has long, pointed ears from either side of its head that emit heat, which illuminates this Unamon's path and its body, giving it a short orange-hue. The ears are purple and scorching hot to the touch, seemingly moving depending on Smoglet's emotions (down when sad, up when angry, back when scared). This includes the smog that emits from its heat, with darker puffs when more intense and clearer clouds when more relaxed.

Aside from that, there is a low-heat fire on the tip of its tail, which has a less controllable smoke around it. Smoglet's tail rarely moves, and it's usually only used to wrap around things and its family. It's red puffy fur around its neck is so comfortable that it often falls asleep resting its head on it.

Given it's small size and weight, Smoglet protects itself with its purple wings, which despite being fragile too, regenerate whenever damaged, though never fully. Smoglet cannot use its wings to fly due to this. This and its toothless mouth make it so Smoglet cannot hunt for itself, relying on more capable family members to do so. Its mouth is covered by sensitive fur, which also makes them particularly picky eaters.

## Discoveries

***LEARN CF. 5# -** These Unamon used to never produced heat by themselves before and would scavenge for leaves and other materials to warm themselves up in their caves. However, a large group of these tiny creatures became stuck in a cave that had been damaged enough to cause a cave in. Because of this, the Smoglet learnt to produce heat in its ears to survive this traumatic event. Only after being rescued and taken by to the Nursery, did the D.U.S.T scientists realise that they had Smoglets that emitted heat and others that didn't. The ones that don't have glowing ears are now rare to find, either having died in the cold or worse.*

***LEARN CF. 11# -** Smoglet will use its big eyes to demand food, attention and even to trick others. Their big eyes will turn soft and almost sparkling, which gives them an innocent appearance even if they're a slightly mischievous Unamon.*

***LEARN CF. 18# -*** *Smoglet leave a trail of ash and dust behind them, bigger Smoglet's will leave more dust, while smaller ones will leave less. It is unclear where this ash comes from, though it's theorised to be from their regenerative wings considering those with more damaged wings will leave more ash.*

## Trivia

### Name Origin

* Smoglet is a combination of *smoke*, *smog*, and *-let* (diminutive suffix meaning small).

### Design Origin

* Smoglet's design is inspired by a flame burning out, or an ash. This is why they are more subdued in colour and nature.
* It is also inspired by vampires (most notably the Pop Culture Icon Dracula), given its original animal inspiration is a bat.
