Squornshellous Beta
Erg... I'd sort of meant that it'd be better if you also removed swords dance on icearor, but I guess everything's passable now. Get the sprites next.

Physical Description: Wyrmal is long and serpentine with a soft, flexible body. Magma inside of its body gives it a reddish color. Two bright red plumes sprout from the top of its head. Older wyrmal have a few chunks of collected sediment clinging to their bodies here and there.
Pokédex Data:
The magma inside of Wyrmal keeps it warm even in the frigid depths of the ocean. This allows it to swim around the seafloor much faster than the other, slower creatures that live there.
When it is nearing evolution Wyrmal slows down, settling near the hydrothermal vents on the ocean floor. The sediment ejected from the vents collects and solidifies on Wyrmal's body, forming a sturdy shell that is as hard as stone.
Wyrmal hatch near hydrothermal vents on the sea floor and generally do not venture far from them. Their soft, flexible bodies are filled with magma that gives them energy in the cold depths of the sea so that they can move around and catch their food. As the Wyrmal grow older, they no longer have much need to move around; they settle near the vents and begin to collect sediment deposited by the black smokers.

(Sprite by Alraunne; hideous icon by me.)
Physical Description: Ventorm's long, whitish body seems to grow out of a heavy, rock-like shell of collected and hardened sediment. Its internal magma reserves are stored in this shell. A thick black cloud of sediment and gases (and smoke, if on land) issues from several openings in the shell. Two sets of red plumes grow around its eyes and down its snout, which ends in a beak-like mouth.
Pokédex Data:
Ventorm live at the bottom of the sea. Their heavy, rock-like shells keep them in one place, but they strike at their prey with alarming speed. When threatened, they can retreat into their shells in an instant.
The water stored in Ventorm's body is expelled, along with sediment and noxious gases, from the vents in its shell. It generally cannot spare the water when it is on land, however, and so black smoke can be seen issuing from the vents instead.
By the time Wyrmal evolve into Ventorm, the sediment they collect from the hydrothermal vents has formed into an incredibly strong shell. The soft bodies of the Ventorm become one with the rock-like shells, much like the way a turtle's shell works. They can retract their long necks back into themselves and into the shell for protection; while their rock bases prevent them from moving from the one spot in which they settle, Ventorm can strike out of and pull into their shells incredibly quickly, more than fast enough to catch most prey or avoid attacks.
Even though they have magma in their bodies, as sea creatures Ventorm need to keep hydrated as well. As such, they swallow water all of the time (for filtering out oxygen as well as for regulating their temperature, etc.). The water that Ventorm swallow is combined with minerals and gases they take in from their prey and their environment, and is forced out of openings in their bases in big clouds of sediment, much like the black smoker vents around which they live. When on land they cannot afford to expel all of that water unless they need to do so in battle; as such, during these times thick smoke often issues from their vents instead.
Notes: Ventorm generally can't move from one spot under its own power, although if gravity is working in its favor while on land it could, at least in theory, retract into its shell and attempt to roll clumsily along for short distances. For those of you wondering why it has a base speed higher than shuckle's if it can barely move from its initial position, that was me trying to balance "can't go anywhere" with "well but its body is flexible and can move really fast while in that one spot so".
i forget what we decided on for additional battle requirements so
um something
The only other halfway viable ability for wyrmal was swift swim, but I still don't like the idea and so in the end just left it with only magma armor. Water spout (and hydro pump) are also gone from their movesets, and hopefully I've managed to even out the levelsets as well.
Alraunne and Blazhy continue to be awesome and amazing, btw.
