#095 Onix
The official Onix design just looks like a snake made of rocks, so the main thing we wanted to change was for it to look more like a part Ground type. We gave it a shovel-shaped head; replaced the big head spike (which would be pretty inefficient for burrowing) with three smaller, rear-facing spikes; and put underside markings meant to mimic mud.
The dark and glossy coloration is meant to look like actual onyx, whereas the golden eyes help emphasize the snake side of it.
