It started off as a little round plane
Kinda like nibblers plane
As initially Eddy was mostly travelling between Space Planet and Earth, and the story would focus on such adventures.
The main focus was that it could fly
Also with Heady Leggys being round, the ship would have to be so to accommodate them comfortably. These flights are probably pretty long.
I like when big characters get into little cars
Exhibit A
Exhibit B
This is the largest automobile I could afford (22 short films about springfield)
Exhibit C
Put it in H (Mr Plow)
So this was the initial design of the ship
And I started playing briefly with making it a car too
It opens kinda like a polly pocket
Theres probably a better way of describing that but I don't know
So when planning the pages I figured he'd probably need to get around in they sky, on land and in water, what with all the flooding.
I worked on making it adaptable to all three terrains.
I figured it would be a really simple machine because Heady Leggys don't like unnecessary hassle.
It would retain it's shape but change slightly to adapt
So in park mode it has little legs and all appendages tucked in
In flight mode little wings extend out to the side and the flooble pops up to form a propeller
Like those hats
What are they even meant to connote idk
is it like nerd attire
what is it
dunce?
Anyway the propeller is kinda like those hats
I think I want one
unless the connote something bad.
this is what the propeller hat means
it's actually really interesting
anyway
This is the vehicle in flight mode
Then when it goes into land driving mode the flooble goes back in and just wobbles uselessly in the breeze, but where the little standing legs are the wheels pop out.
And the exhaust now makes fumes for reasons
Then when it goes into amphibious mode the wheels go back in and out pops little fins on either side
These are based on the pelvic fins of fish that help them move about and go up and down, which is their function on the vehicle
Also the flooble pokes up again and opens into a wind sock to aid braking.
And the exhausted at the back pops out to form a propeller
So it now travels in all land areas.
Figuring out the name I nicked JK Rowlings process of borrowing from other languages
So I went straight to latin for maximum pretentiousness and looked for travel related words
The verb peragro, which seems to still be used in italian but I'm not sure, means to wander/pass through/traverse/ travel, which I think is quite accurate to the Heady Leggy mentality in it's passiveness.
Hense I titled it the Peragro Pod
Ta dah
