Guardian Youkai Tatsuki
That "Something BIG is coming" thing? Yeah, I meant THIS.
This is Rigubi's """secret""" guardian Youkai form. He referred to by his last name. He only exists in the Youkai AU. 😔
I was going to wait until revealing his full Anthro ref later, but 2020-2021 Rig? Completely retconned. So, anything I didn't keep from those old forms is completely gone now.
He was immaturely and haphazardly made back in the day with the goal of being "cool". So, I gave him all this Gary Stu BULLSHIT that made him waaaaay too OP. He is still powerful and has a gigantic, superpowered legendary form, but I digress.
I wiped most of that stuff away: the DP ghost powers minus the usual Yokai ones and the blue glowy bits; the giant emo form was replaced with this; the supervillain form (he can still be possessed and turned evil, though 😈; the outfit that is used for WEDDINGS as a normal outfit 😬; the Letterman jacket (too many 'Nooks are using them now and I need to be a hipster. 🤓); the hard-to-draw 2D head; the round bear ears; the inconsistently drawn giant tail- oh wait
He still has his awesome fire powers. Those kick ass, I'd never get rid of them.
Okay, he's still a Gary Stu, but what main character isn't at this point?
Originally, the emo form was supposed to be a "corrupted" version of this form, that had to be purified. He is unfortunately aware of what he does in that form, but unable to fully control himself, so he'd wreak havoc and not be able to stop it, then feel bad afterwards. His supposedly "chill" demeanor is fake; he stays that way to not trigger that form until it can be cured. Sachihiko seen him destroying stuff in that form before and wants to "eliminate the threat" before he becomes a problem again. Any huge traumatic event could trigger an emotion strong enough to change into... that again. Yikes. 😬 Hard to convince the monster hunter that you're harmless when you know you can destroy a town easily when you're pissed off.
2022 cured him! 😃 *looks at all the sad stuff that's happened in the span of 10 days* Never mind, emo form is back.
He's a daddy
I'm sorry, he's a daddy. I mean he's a daddy sorry I mean he a daddy wait I mean he's a daddy dammit I mean he's a daddy shit I mean-
Daddy Tanuki *slaps self*
TATSUKI.
Tatsuki is modeled after a Shisa, hence his handsome lion-dog looks! His back marking is taken from an old design I had for a Kitsune version of Dietricha. I'm no longer going to use that version of her, so I thought an homage to it would be in order.
He possesses a golden leaf upon his head. His anthro form wears a red haori and red and white braided belt with two bells. Guess where the bells are. 😏
He has a huge belly for a reason!Daddy beer belly He drums on it to make a loud (earshattering, if you're in earshot) shockwave to attack others. I keep up with my official Tanuki lore! 🤓
He has cute big teeth, too, but dumbass me forgot to add them in time! 🤪 Anthro Tatsuki coming soon!
This form eats up a lot of energy, he only changes into it when it's an emergency. Usually. After changing back, he demolishes at least two Golden Corrals for the intense munchies he suffers from afterwards.
...I wonder what he's staring at...
