3rd panel has somehow sold me on Mijumaru. Here's hoping you have some badass evolution, little guy.
The more I look at it, though, the more I think he might have been intended to be ugly. I mean, if practically the entire internet sees it, Gamefreak has to have noticed too. I bet it at least looks more otterish when it evolves.
It looks functional, at the least, and seems to have a sort of ugly-cute charm. It's just so damn stylistically hodgepodge. That nose and the white head kinda has me thinking "moogle".
I've been thinking Mr. Mime and Mudkip have suddenly gained the ability to breed and produce new ungodly abominations, the lovechild Majimaru. Also, I keep wanting to call it Marumaro...
