Monotremes are a type of mammal! A very strange type, and less related to us than any other type of mammal, but mammals nonetheless and thus more related to us than all non-mammals.

The only non-Eutheria mammals are the marsupials (Metatheria, "changed beasts") and the monotremes meaning... wait for it... "one-hole."😂

Scourge's green coloration was inspired by Ashura and Dr. Starline's entire palette and name are inspired by wechnia (wechnia's actual name being **********, a line of stars) while also being essentially an alternate Finitevus since echidna and platypus are the only monotremes

also I really wanted the Platypus monster concept to be reused because I loved the idea of 2 magical monsters being based off of monotremes being it and Peckidna.

Because real-life platypuses don't have tails like beavers-- their tails are more rounded and fully furred. I went for something similar to a Sonic-character-style echidna, as a nod to them both being monotremes.
