Some of you all tried to give me some Pancham-adjacent characters: cute furry/anthros with big personalities. Some of you werent as successful as others.

But I cant say no to Klonoa.

Klonoa is a company mascot primarily utilized in platformers. He has the big head/short body dynamic common to characters of his type. He rocks a lot of primary colors: yellow gloves, red shoes, blue shirt/shorts/hat (with of course a yellow Pac-Man design). His fur is black with a white muzzle, and he has yellow, slitted cat-like eyes (Klonoa being of the cabbit species of cat-rabbit family). Like many cute animal characters in the ranking, he has one little fang that pokes out.

This one is so important that it gets its own paragraph: I believe Klonoa is the highest ranked design with an impractical zipper. Well done, kid! (Seriously, this one is even more egregious because its not even connected to anything.)

The Klonoa 2 design was nominated. This works out well for him, as his original design wouldnt fare too well:

I don't understand the fashion choice of wearing a belt for a shirt, particularly when you already have a perfectly good belt around your waist. A wise choice indeed to nominate the sequel design.

Klonoas design was intended to give off a childlike and energetic quality and I would say they succeeded admirably. Hes so buoyant in this art, just bouncing off the walls; both childhood and energy are well conveyed.

The only thing Im not as into for Klonoa? Ive never been in a big fan of the ears. This reflects my general dislike of the twintail style, which has played out in other nominations. But everything else is so strong that it doesnt bother me too much. Hes fun and conveys his personality so strongly, its hard not to get swept up.
