does the spear pup have a name or are they just, the sluppy

Spearmaster does the sign ‘Polka Dot” just once and around their torso/abdomen when referring to/toward the Slup! On account of their stomach patch.

So ‘Polka Dot’ or ‘Dot’ it is! （ﾉ´∀`）

I'm exposing myself with this post but... I can't believe Nintendo made Crystal Empire Pokémon.

has SM taught the child how to draw? i think they would bond or possible communicate with drawing

SM often likes to draw out survival lessons for the slup to learn from; the strength and weaknesses of enemies, how to foster relationships, how to look out for danger, etc.

This particular lesson session isn't the first, but it IS the first time the slup has taken to mimicking SM's artistic capabilities to convey something they've been wanting to share for a while.

They didn't expect SM to be so emotionally devestated /positive by what they drew, but they're very happy that they feel similar. Despite the horrifying expression that came of it.

Uh OH Did I find pups as Spearmaster and think about it too much? You're godt damnt right I did and here are my thoughts you're forcing yourself to read. I imagine scups would be terrified of Spearmaster since he's an abomination of a slugcat, consequences of being an early purposed organism include but aren't limited to...

No mouth! Instead it's the outline of one horrifyingly, like someone opening their mouth under a mask or something tight on their face.

Absolutely skin and bones because of an unnatural way of feeding through the spear straws.

Chest hole with weird tubes showing bones because thanks pebbles :)

Dead eyes that aren't from blindness but odd genomes lacking pigment because thanks Suns :)

No mouth means no tongue to be able to groom themself with; super dirty - and bloody from thanking pebbles in person - and super unruly fur.

Can't even communicate in Scug so can't go 'Oh I'm not mean I swear!' literally can't, unless scugs got some hand motions/body language. Which Spearmaster can't even DO since he's an artificial Scug and never learned the language.

Don't forget to thank Pebbles & Sun for your local Creepypasta Slugcat!

I got the Everyone Gets Slugpups mod

I cried with this first encounter as Artificer 😭 Quickly got the Immortal Slugpups mod afterwards because Artificer doesn't deserve to lose another one.

IIRC, the reason Spearmaster doesn't have a Mark of Communication at campaign start is because of being taught sign language "the hard way", but gets it from Five Pebbles on the played "return trip".

OOOOHHHHHHHHHHHH I completely missed that bit of information. Daw Suns 🥺

I love that they want to be on the same level of language from what I read in a reblog. Makes my heart clench something mean.

Looks at you with my autism eyes

They should have kept the glitch where the game over screen happened if your pup died because you bet your ass I'll turn my ass into grass just to get my baby back.

How did SM get slugpup to trust them? By stabbing everything around it?

You could say that
