Notes:
Well, they didn't get too scary after all, though they
do look a bit silly.
Spubble (Spider + Bubble) is based on the fishing spider, a spider that can walk on water. It's quite basic; eight legs, covered in foam, and some tiny googles in the eyes.
For the evolution's name, I like Silvellive more (Silk+Silver+Bell+Dive) because it has that nice alliteration with Spubble, while akwila prefers Airachneta (Air+Arachnid+Trachea+Net+Neta (greek, "spinner of silver")), it is based on a diving bell spider, which spends its entire life underwater, in nests full of oxygen spun form its web:
It also keeps air bubbles in its hairs which give it a silvery look, like it's covered in mercury, that was our intention with the abdomen, only with oversized, cartoony bubbles.
The last 4 legs of spubble became the 4 claws that the evolution uses to hold the bubbles that cover it (hence the high defense). A non relevant (for battle purposes) fact is that the spider can release the bubbles in its lair and harvest more with its claws, it can also consume the bubbles to get oxygen in the water.
