wait a frigging second, is…is tamatoa’s house on a cliff?? I can’t really see if behind teh big caracola we in fact have more, regular level floor, does that means he probably enters and get out of there by a basemente backdoor basically?
I made @halfys‘s tamatoa and mine switching styles, at first it was a doodle I made for funsies but I liked it so made it a full draw! they are looking a bit confused abut such dramatic change hahah
was talking with @justmerriannstuff and decided to finally write down all my maui and tamatoa headcanons (friendship and small individual stuff) so here it is! enjoy!
when tamatoa meet maui, he at least was around the size of a family van, maui found him while tama was buried under the sand as in “oh hey little buddy” until he rise up like “oh hey not-so-little buddy”
it was that or maui fished tamatoa by accident when trying to fish islands
they are around the same age, which by how they act and by immortal rule is already pretty vague
they are basically college frat boys from the sea, the kind that greets each other by a gleeful HEY MAN HI and a sucker punch to the guts also the type that says no homo even when you see them lounging over each other
playfighting for basically any reason, feeling down because of no adventures? fight, feeling joyful because of successful quests? fight, just down for it? PLAYFIGHT
they also like dissing each other for fun, but have a PASSION for dissing other people together
tamatoa could talk as a human, but was probably a wrecked and butched up version of it mix up with any crab idiom he already had, maui tired teaching him a bit more but nothing really came out of it, until one time he came from one of his quest, he found tamatoa already speaking good english and GREAT FRENCH
maui and tamatoa would go on an adventure together a lot, for both the glory and the loot! tamatoa started taking loot and treasure in quantity so he could LATER ON chose what he really liked from it to put on his shell to commemorate that adventure, that’s where it started to accumulate at his cave, and he did like it a lot but was not utterly crazy over it, that happens later
tamatoa lost his leg BY ACCIDENT on one of their playfights, Maui got so nervious that he ran away rather than comfront the problem
once tamatoa was left alone at his cave with his now cut leg, other lalotai monsters that wanted payoff from the duo, or just maui, tried to get at tamatoa for that now that they knew he was hurt and maui out of the place to wreck him, and likely trying to eat him, which basically was what started to make him more violent and murderious in general
(violent sure he probably already was as much as maui but murderious was indeed a way new thing)
