[The feed cuts on, showing one scruffy, somewhat scraggly, and slightly worn out Kratt. He's been working on the city every day and tonight, decided to sit around on the network afterwards.]

Hey Hiccup if you're around, maybe after all this is over with we can finally sit down and look at that notebook you've got? So far I've noticed a lot of Digimon are similar to all the creatures I studied back home, and I'd really like to see if that trend continues.

[He rubs his chin in thought- looks like a couple fingers have bandaids around them -and then looks back at the camera with a little gesture.]

And anyone who's had a partner digivolve, I'd like to know what their normal stage is and what they digivolved to? I'm just trying to figure out a couple things for myself regarding the process. [Let's face it, for a biologist like him the whole thing was a little nonsensical, but cool, and he wanted to see if he could figure it out.]

Thanks ahead of time, to anyone who replies! [And he reaches forward to cut the initial feed- wait it looks like that wrist is wrapped up in some kinda brace-?

needsteaplz: (Leppamon - default)

[Saori has both of her partners, an Elecmon and a Gaomon, sitting next to her on the couch.]

So far, only Guren's been able to digivolve to champion level. [The Elecmon waves as if to point himself out.] He's a Tsunomon at the in-training level, but he digivolves to Leppamon.

Elecmon digivolve to...Leppamon!

Geeze, Guren, a little more warning before you digivolve indoors!

[While as Leppamon he wasn't a giant compared to other champion levels, he's fairly close to her size. Guren had his head on her lap and Gaomon just barely got out of the way of the bladed tail.]

From what I can tell, Leppamon are modeled after the kaimaitachi weasels of Japanese folklore. I've seen my fair share of digimon based on folklore and mythology. It's quite interesting to see just how many of them are here and how this place interprets them.
