It Gets Worse...

Name: Walf

Debut: Kirby’s Return to Dream Land

On today this creature critter cFriday we are gathered to celebrate Walf! Walf is definitely one of the most critters I can think of. It is a really wonderful design! Flippers like a sea turtle, antennae like a beetle, and a round shell like both! Not too turtley, not too beetley, Perfectly Walf.

Walf looked quite different in its original appearance! More turtley, I think? Or maybe even mammaly. I don’t like it as much. I wonder if I would like it more if it was bald.

Nope! I don’t like it more bald.

All that being said, I don’t DISlike the original Walf design at all, it is quite cute! But in Planet Robobot, only the second ever appearance of Walf, they felt the need to completely redesign it. And this design, I LOVE! I like the colors more, the face is cuter, it feels like a more consistent design overall, good job, Walf!

There may not be any merchandise of Walf (yet), but take solace in that it does exist in-universe, thanks to the figures in Forgotten Land! This is also how its name was confirmed! For over ten years, we were just going by the file names that called it Walf. We could only imagine what they might ever officially call it in-game! We imagined they would call it “Walf”. Hey, this is only a two-star figure? Surely there must be a mistake!

Much better! Much more realistic!

Interestingly for something with flippers, Walf spends its aquatic time on TOP of the surface of the water! Also interesting is that while it has antennae and moves on the water surface, it is not based on a water strider. If anything, it makes me think of a whirligig beetle! Walf can do more than swim, though. So much more.

A wee bit late, but the last of my wedding gifts are finally done. The bride's favorite Pokémon is Raichu, so I made her a pair.
