Ok, that's what I thought at first, but I was like, "How the hell do you draw something that's inherently invisible (i.e., wind) at the end of a tail???" I'll think about the fan-like tail, though.

That's how Lorak and I roll
!
Like a square wheel, Pimplup. Like a square wheel.That's how Lorak and I roll
Ohhhh yeaahhhh

Do we think this makes him look too much like a Dark type? I associate fangs with Bite and Crunch, and thus the Dark type. And since people are already complaining about that, I don't want to push it.
Ground's his secondary type. It shouldn't dominate the design, IMO. But thank you for the compliment.
Thanks!
Awesome. I'm glad. Thanks for the suggestion in the first place. It looks closer to the original concept I had in my head now.
Thanks!
Poison Fang. :V
Here is a spider.
I haven't colored the mouth.
I might just make it have pinsirs instead of little teeth.
I love it! Im still with the Camel Spider idea, but this is brilliant! Thumbs up
Oh I know. I was just pointing out that biting is largely a 'dark' thing to do, and I didn't want to push the Imp's association with the Dark type anymore than he already is.
Before I begin, I must say I loled at the Burger pokemon conversation going on. Also, this will be a pretty big post.
Okay, here are my sketches. I'll start off with the Death Worm...
I started off trying to make a cute wormy, but it just wasn't cutting it for me. They didn't strike me as defensive enough. So I decided to show it by giving it an armored look.
The armored segments look constrictive, but it's not actually connected to its flesh. In order to move through the earth, rather than using its jaws it spins the armor segments rapidly, drilling through the earth. Even on the surface, by rapidly spinning the armored segments it can travel incredibly fast. The crystals on its lower body look like eyes, but it is actually blind. It uses those crystals to sense any prey on the surface, and to protect itself.
This is the second design, my hybrid spider creature. As I said in a previous post, this is a combination of a Trap Door Spider, a Daddy Long Legs, and a Jumping Spider. The fore-claws are used for digging, which is a trait of Trap Door Spiders (technically Tunneler, but meh). The body has no abdomen, like a Daddy Long Legs. Finally, the hind legs are this creature's most powerful part of its body. This gives it the ability to jump, which is the Jumping Spider's trait.
This creature uses its large fore-claws to dig traps in the desert, in which it hides. Once some prey approach the trap, it quickly springs right out of the hole and tries to drag the prey down to poison it. The reason it doesn't strike the prey with those monstrous fore-claws is that the fore-claws are so large, it can't use them to attack prey. They're built for raking inwards, not lifting and striking. It can stay underground for a long period of time because it requires no water. Instead, it drinks oil found deep underground. The oil it drinks is visible on its body. If it is forced to surface, it goes into a defensive state instantly. It tries to spray the enemy with the oil, which has been in its body so long that it becomes poisonous, to startle them and stall so it can dig another hole to escape. If it feels the enemy has been sufficiently weakened by the poisonous oil, it springs out of its hole once more and drags the enemy down to feed on it.
Well, here they are. I personally like the worm better, but the spider has more development.
Edit: Also, they are not colored because I haven't yet decided what colors to give them. Meh.

Absolution: I have an idea that could help with the /Ground association for your imp thing ( which I love ) that is quick and easy to do. It won't dominate the drawing as I understand you're worried about.
Right now, its eyes are green. Change the colour to an earthy tone such as tan. You'll be suprised how just that can give off a totally different "aura" from the Pokemon. (:
EDIT: That spider Pokemon CyzirVisheen did reminds me a lot of that Spider Virus thing from two of the Digimon movies. I forgot what it was called.

CyzirVisheen, I think your concepts are very well drawn. However, they don't particularly scream "Pokemon" to me. I've pointed this out a few times before in past CAPs, but I feel like creatures that involve extraneous detail and ferocity resemble Digimon too much. In spite of this, I will that out of the two, the second looks more like a Pokemon than the first, but it still suffers from the same problem.
As for omgthatkid95's concept, I'd stick with the small teeth over pinsirs. Ariados already has pinsirs.
(Oh, and X_Presumtuous, I think you're talking about Diaboromon.)

This sums up my feeling towards this pictures. The worm is beastly cool. It remind me of a monster card I seen before.
This good? I was really fond of the bright green eyes, but if you think this hits the flavor better, I'm all for it.
no, imagine a tiny, tiny tornado, constantly spinning, on the end of the pokemons tail.
considering he is the creator of syclant, i would say so.
A Pokemon responsible for the traumatic poisoning of many unprepared Trainers, who knew not of this species. Records show these Trainers stocked up on many varieties of Poke Balls and Repels, and had access to a device known as a "Poke Radar", before walking directly into the lure of this Pokemon.

OH GOD I CAN SEE FOREVER
Jesus...it took me a while to realized what the hell was that. I'm seriously, I thought Lorak had draw a floating pile of shit with some spinach onto it.
Well, I didn't shade it. Just wanted reactions to it first. :V
And you got your reactions. We need something involving Rare Candies/Vitamins and poisoning because I think it's abnormally funny.
Toxic meds? Sounds like something I can get behind. <_<
So this isn't totally OT, my favorite is the smog imp.
