Description

This guy is inspired by an old story from an equally old book. (Struwwelpeter and other tales)
         Those colored boxes up in the corner are like a color palette.
(Is struwwelpeterin the correct feminine form, or is it just struwwelpeter?) <--- Until I can answer this, I'll use Stuwwelpeter for both.

     About the species:
     
    Struwwelpeter (plural, Struwwelpeteren)
    (Stroo-vul-pay-tur[-run])
    Element: Omega
A human-like spirit creature. Has child-like tendencies. Enjoys making a mess, being in a mess, and being messy. Can speak perfectly fine, but are known to refuse to speak anything but "Struwwelpeter" or their own name,( which more than likely starts with "Struwwel".) Has talons filled with a slightly corrosive toxin.  "Clothes" are attached, and attempted removal will most likely result in serious injury, mostly to the remover. Very playful.

     Out-of-story information:

 - The name Stuwwelpeter means "shock-headed Peter". It was originally the name of a character in the story of the same name. Essentially, a boy named Peter refuses to comb his hair or cut his nails, and apparently ends up with what are virtually talons and an enormous afro, if the illustrations are anything to go by, at which point no one wants to hang out with him anymore.

- Struwwelpeter is one of two spirit creatures to be made from recycled fakemon designs, the other being fledermaus. (For those of you who are curious, it would have been fairy/poison.)

- Struwwelpeter's "clothes" are based on trachten, the traditional peasant costumes of Germany. The male is wearing lederhosen, while the girl is wearing a dirndl.

- Struwwelpeter is designed to look a bit scarecrow like. Hence the very, VERY long arms.
