Description
Koffing and weezing are filled with lighter than air toxic gases that allow them to hover slightly above the ground. They can propel themselves through the air by shooting jets of gas out of their many crater-like holes. The also use the gas to poison prey and would be predators.Like many deep-sea fish, male weezing permanently attach themselves the female and begin to atrophy until they are nothing more than a sack of hormone triggered gonads.

Sea creatures are always a good fallback for the weirder pokemon. There are a lot of strange things living under the sea.

What a great "realistic" interpretation for what most people would see as little more than a big purple gassbag!Β I always thought of the second head on a Weezing to be an offspring dividing by fission, but I forgot about the way that certain male fish attach themselves to the larger female, and I like your explanation better!

I. Β Love. DIS! Β Seriously! Β Your idea explaining the multiple heads, genius! Β I used to be not that interested in pokemon, until I started seeing some of your realistic pokemon, and have started drawing many pokemon myself now!

Sweet take - was considering bloated slugs for them (for a scene in a fanfic I'm writing) but your version's deliciously awesome.

I always figured the small head was some kind of tumor, but I like your idea much better

So, how do they obtain this gas? I'm guessing by either eating leaves constantly, and processing them, or by ingesting factory fumes and smoke.

Weezing is so creepy! I adore how you've decided how they mate and that the poor second head is a male weezing sucked dry /shudder

So, what? Tail-less angler-fish?
Just wondered.

I love the teeth! You remember how Weezing would always say "I'm scared"? Well now it looks like Koffing is the scared one.

Wow! I've known about the angler fish thing for a long time, but I never thought of applying it to weezing! That's such a smart idea! I don't know why I never never made that connection!
Not the most attractive of creatures. I actually found the original koffing pretty appealing, due to its cheeky expression it's always seen with, but "real" koffings don't have similar appeal... Though I guess it's just as well, considering their toxicity.

I did not know about that. Good way for explaining the two heads.

I believe this is the best (or at least one of the best) Koffing/Wheezing fanart that I have ever seen! This is giving me some ideas.

I must say, your explanations for their anatomy and their livlihood, has improved immensely, if it wasn't that I knew they weren't real, you could have fool me other wise! Cracking job, keep it up!

the weezing's face actually looks like an anglerfish's haha. and its soo awesome

I love the portrail of them as animals with teeth and vicious body features. I also loved how you compared the parasitic aspect with a deep sea fish. Great job.

What head is the male? The big or the small?

The small. Angler fish reproduction is pretty bizarre, check it out [link]

Koffing was one of my favourite Pokemon (because he has the face in the cartoon), and you based them off one of my favourite real life animals! Anglerfish reproduction is weird.
I wasn't sure how you'd pull a Pokemon that really barely resembled anything more than a rock, but I have to say I am pleased.

Thanks, this one actually wasn't that hard to figure out, especially when I was thinking about the fact that they had two heads stuck together. For some reason deep sea fish just came to mind.
Also, i wanted them to bear some similarity to the ghastly family.

thats not so strange. gastly, haunter, gengar and wezing/koffing are all in the breeding group, amorphous along with grimer/muk. so a genetic similarity wouldn't so unsound.

Oh yeah, I remember them. You gave them a deep sea inspired design too. I always thought Koffing and Ghastly seemed similar in the show, so it makes sense.
