Designs for the Oniba enemy. Oniba, On-ion, Onhiba, Garliba. Goomba-inspired onion enemy. They have infinite defense and perform an attack based on which kind of Oniba they are. Once you attack it a single time, though, it sheds its skin and it loses its invincibility. Garliba splits into several more enemies.

Lightning Bug enemy

Sandwich enemy. I imagine it sounds like an accordion! Potential variant ideas include the aforementioned accordion, a stack of pancakes, or a hamburger.

Reed/Bamboo/Pasta enemy. Shrubble Knight uses the blue one as a staff. They drop the pasta item for cooking

Earlier design for the Ratctangle enemy. Their gimmick is that they rotate and it changes their behavior in battle. Also based on computer mice.

Early witch cat designs

Candy corn colors for witch cat

Final witch cat design. Her roller skates are under the dress. She's the Cook NPC in the Swamp.

Script Kitty. Their battle gimmick is that they mess with the game itself

Presumed final form of a Script Kitty. Their tails can interface with technology, and they use Ratctangles as computer mice. It would be funny if they secretly created suspicious looking files on the player's computer during battle, Maybe a user profile on Windows. Maybe they could detect what OS you're using and diss you if you don't use Linux

Attack point draining mosquito enemy. I prefer the design on the right since the snout is cuter.

Redesigned ants. De-anthrofied them as to not step on Bug Fables' toes, and because the game already has enough humanoid species. They also needed to be smaller to fit in the tiny area properly. Also, Shrubble Knight in pajamas

Shrubble Knight saluting

Redesigned frogs and toads

Onistella. A probably scrapped idea for an Oniba partner.

Ant partner. He's a prince. Currently hasn't been redesigned to fit the new smaller ants. He fights with a lance and he can fly. He's the prince of the colony. His special ability is to fly for short periods of time, and smell things. Considering scrapping him due to his similarity with Sam and other partners, and it'll be hard to have a regular ant fight with a lance. I'll probably just redesign him into a different species and backstory, though.

Some shrubs, a duck, a bee, and and a generic rat lady

Bat enemy design

Bat redesign for the old ant partner, made right before I ultimately scrapped him. He will still exist as an NPC, however

Design of Antha, who belongs to a species that is the dream world counterpart of Sam's. She's also Sam's counterpart individual specifically!

Early design for ants.

Early designs for toads. Considering scrapping Pedophile frog (He's not actually a pedophile, he just has an unfortunate name, but I think people would get offended regardless)

Rarchord Grarchordson lifting up Shrubble Knight to demonstrate scale. Rarchord Grarchordson is the main antagonist of the Shrubble Knight series.

Shrubble Knight transformations, like in the Wario Land series. He unlocks these abilities to get around. Sequence-breaking can involve getting these early, or skipping them entirely.

Even later Cate design than the ones featured above. Give her a bit of hip and boob back, but shaped differently than Sam. Made her look more expressive and cat-like, too.

Older witch cat design with a cape and visible skates

Early designs for Lactoast enemy

More refined Lactoast. Ratctangles can eat them

It's a Lacktoast eating bacteria, and also a computer infection. I intend to make a computer "bug" an "virus" enemy in a similar vein, which are all Script Kitty allies.

Toast enemy

Tippi inspired butterfly

Mosquito enemy full on points. It attacks next turn

Design inspired by Cate's old brother Cathan. Barista NPC for the Swamp

Earlier Luca designs

Andrinoid "skeletons". Andrinoids are a fusion of robotic technology and golem magic.

Sam is one of Shrubble Knights party members later on. She comes from a cave-dwelling bug/mammal hybrid species. They wear robes to protect their light-sensitive exoskeltons. Sam's abilities include magic, springing/grappling/attacking with her tail, and she's immune to jumping attacks because of her horns. She takes triple damage from fire/heat attacks, though, and her attack power is halved outside of dark rooms. She's also a princess. She's depicted with wings in some concept art, but she's not supposed to have any.

Souls

Earlier, lankier iteration of bats. Scrapped for art style consistency; smaller creatures should be made of bigger and less complex shapes

Some item ideas. Both used in battle and for cooking. Onions are dropped by Oniba. I think I want to make a pepper subspecies of Oniba.

Design evolution for some characters. Featuring Somber Knight, plant partner, Shrubble Knight's brother, Cate, Sam, Shrubble Knight, and Oniba

Potential Cate redesign. Slimmed down curviness to make her less similar to Sam, since I think having two voluptuous black and yellow women with big triangle ears and long thin tails is a bit too similar to abide. Cate is the Cook NPC in Shrubble Knight's home town, and will be his first party member if you don't sequence-break. No special ability outside of being a Cooking NPC.

Luca, Cate's older sister. Using Cate's scrapped rig shapes so they don't go to waste. Completely different visual design, but she's the same character as Lucat, Cate's previous older sister. She's the Barista NPC in Las Agna.

Prarchord redesign demonstration (On the right). On the left is "Cute Prarchord", which I felt kind of goes against Prarchord's identity as a strange and unknowable being.

Ratctangle redesign, removing its limbs. I prefer the more streamlined shape, and it communicates the idea of the enemy better. I might remove the teeth and ears, too.

Quabit enemy. Same design family as Ratctangle

Service NPCs that travel instead of having a unique one per town

Cursed circular ratctangle

Toaster enemy. It transforms Toasts and uses them as weapons. If you use a jumping attack on one while it's empty you'll get stuck inside for one turn then come out with the burned status on the next

Fire Fly enemy to pair with the Lightning Bug

Various town-specific service NPCs. The one from Antha's species needs a Sam species counterpart, still, since he doesn't have one. Cathan 2.0 doesn't need one since coffee is banned in the Dream World.

Earlier Loan Shark design

Earlier Princess Nuts design ideas

Somber Knight, the undead brother of the very first Shrubble Knight from over 1000 years ago. Every time Rarchord Grarchordson returns, he's there with him, ready to take revenge against the newest Shrubble Knight. He's one of the main antagonists throughout the game.

Dr. Coque Bloquer. A scrapped ally of Rarchord Grarchordson who would confront you regularly, inspired by Fawful and Dr. Eggman. Originally was going to replace Rarcord Grarchordson's scientist personality trait with a new character.

Pop bottle, Oniba redesigns (squarer boots), Loan Shark redesign, bell pepper oniba idea (it has a stem but it's hard to see),and  sodapop oniba idea
