Pupa Stag
Pupa Stag (プーパスタッグ) is a stag beetle-type Medarot whose sole appearance is in Medarot Navi.
Description
Unlike every other entry in the KWG series, Pupa Stag doesn't much resemble a stag beetle or a Medarot at all; rather, its Head part is a glowing green bundle of energy. Each Arm appears to be a beetle larva and its Legs are simply more energy. Its attacks are almost identical to those of others in the KWG series - Conceal head, Sword arm and Hammer arm - but are fairly weak compared to Mach Massive or Dorcus.
Things change greatly when Power Medachange enters the picture. Energy becomes matter and weak becomes strong as a miniature Sonic Stag is born. Its Conceal is replaced with Booster, passively raising its attack strength post-movement, and its Sword and Hammer are given even greater strength.
The requirements for Medachange are their weakness - strip them of a part before they can grow into a serious threat.
In the games
Pupa Stags, along with their Pupa Beetle buddies, appear in great numbers in the game's final chapter alongside the five Fossil Medarots: Mono-Cruziana, Di-Tyranno, Tri-Ptera, Quar-Brachio and Zero-Suicide. They also share some of the fossils' aesthetic, particularly the striping on their arm weapons.
Of note is that Pupa Stag shares its model number with Sonic Stag. Could this be more than coincidence?
