Pokedex entry:







These Fakemon build giant underground colonies deep beneath dead trees or hollow stumps. They are the colony's food gatherers, thus most of their daily activity revolves around searching the forest for berries and bringing them back to the hive. Because of their active lifestyle, they are always hungry and tend to eat most of the berries they find before they can ever reach the hive. This sometimes leads them to become so large that they lose the ability to stay airbourne. Hoardabee possess large sacks on their legs which are used as pockets for storing berries during their journey. They will often visit the nests of other Fakemon and take away any food they find without the owner's knowledge. Most of the food they store in their hives gets spoiled because of negligence, but is always replaced by fresh stock if possible.







Even though they can be very greedy, Hoardabee are generally adored by the residents of Acuma, who believe that these Fakemon help pollinate flowers. Many berry orchards possess a few berry bushes intended exclusively for Hoardabee, as they are percieved as bringers of good luck and fertility. Unfortunately, recent studies have not found any correlation between these Fakemon and pollination, thus their ecological impact on Acuma's flora still remains a topic of heated debate.

Concept Origin:







Now we come full circle, the epitomy of the greed theme I created for this line, and it is actually based on real nature stuff. This Fakemon is obviously based on bumblebees, who actually do create their hives underground. Something most people don't know is that bumblebees are also occasional nectar robbers. They are too large to fit inside some flowers, so they tend to puncture a hole on the outside of the flower and drink up the nectar without getting covered in pollen, thus not helping the plant at all. I played upon this idea, but instead of taking nectar this Fakemon takes all the berries it can find. The bags on its legs are based on the sacks of pollen most honeybees and bumblebees carry on their hind legs.







Also, I referenced the popular urban legend of bumblebees' flight defying the laws of gravity, as it is believed they shouldn't even be able to fly because of their size and weight. The black part of the head is supposed to reference robber masks, as well as the black stripes on the body. Also, to make this little Fairy more mischievous and greedy, I thought of the idea that it hoards so much food in its hive that most of the food is never even eaten and spoils away, leading the previously described Adorafuzz to take this spoiled food out of the hive and give it to other Fakemon to gain sympathy. People tend to associate bees and bumblebees with pollination, thinking they are very helpful, but this Fakemon is just a greedy and selfish glutton that actually harms nature more than helping it, and yet gets away with it just because of association and beliefs that are way out of date.
