These are early ..drafts. Done in flash. Ill redraw them in pencil again, for better designs.

Anyway

They are Poison/Steel type porcupine Pokemon. And loosely based on those red pin cushions.

The little guy is called Pepapine (Bastarized pepper and porcupine) and based on a hamster/guinea pig.

Pepapine are small creatures, docile, and easily tamed. They prefer small confined areas , such as cupboard or in a shoe..much to the dismay of trainers. Whom ended getting pricked and poisoned by them. They do not battle on their own, and hide at danger, but when they cannot , they emit an irritating plume of dust from their bodies by vigoursly shaking it. This dust often leaves the foe confused and sneezing (lol yea, its pepper it shoots out) while it runs away. And then..it evolves...

Pinprika (Pin and Peprika) are a more hardy and more adventurous than their prevolution. They tend to gather with Pepapine to protect them from predators by shuffling together into one mass of painful ..steel and fur. To warn off an intruder they shake their body causing the needle like extensions to hit on each other and emit a sublet clacking sound. This is also used in mating, the louder it is, the more likely it is to find a female and to become dominant of their group. The bright red , black and yellow of its body is to tell someone I AM POISON. BEWARE. When the needles of the pokemon shed, they are often used for sewing.

Their ability is "Pepper Cloud" , which either poisons, confuses, or both! Chance of occuring when the foe hits this pokemon.
