Five Beavers?

We already know Maroon (the Beaver with mallet), Muroon (the one with glasses). Now, here is Miroon! (ミルーン)

Meroon, Moroon soon?

That sounds right. The only difference in the Suikoden II squirrels were their capes and the second letters of their names (a,e,i,o,u_). It should be the same with the beavers, though it looks like they'll have a bigger impact on the story.

Man, they need to employ better variety schemes for these quintet characters, IMO. The vowel variations were the best in the original game, where you could hardly tell they started the whole a-i-u-e-o trend. (Maas, Meese, Moose, Mace, Mose)

Kogoro and his friends at least had a little more thoughts put into their names too. The rest, not so much.

Can anyone tell me WHY they picked beavers? Is it the landscape and it just made sense, or something? *shudders* I hate beavers.

There are SOME differences to the squirrels on S2, like that green one has giant buckteeth. That's the only other thing I remember.

I personally liked the dogs best.

Probably because it fits the entire rivers and dams theme, mayhap?

But, worry not. These beavers sure have very distinct appearance this time around. They even differ in profession, which is extraordinary for the vowel quintets.

It was reported on SuikoX that DoReMi elves will take the generic role like the squirrels and dogs of Suikoden 2 and 3 since it would appear they don't count as SoDs. However, you need someone, Cornelio(?), to recruit them.

Looks like we have our five beavers besides フワラフワル Fuwalafuwalu.

マルーン Maroon (1)
ミルーン Miroon (2)
ムルーン Muroon (3)
メルーン Meroon (4)
モルーン Moroon (5)

Also, there are 5 Doremi Elves that are the replacements for the squirrels and dogs. They are owned by a guy named Cornelio. This scenario reminds me of Connell from Suikoden II and his Doremi Elves. Also, they have similar names, so perhaps they are related.

EDIT: Here is the artwork for Moroon. Can anyone say: Rock and Roll beaver

?

Konami actually thought we nwanted TWO sets of these quintets in a single game?

Simply fascinating.

I'm suddenly thinking FLCL when I see Moroon.

What's next in the sixth game? Raccoons? That would be interesting..... No wait, RABBITS! With the nasty, sharp, pointy teeth! *does the Enchanter's impression*

Sorry. I bad.

Oh, yes, they read your mind, Patapi and saw how much you loved little elves and decided to toss them in.

The thing I wonder about is if these elves are SoDs or simply something else to take up castle, or should I say ruin, space.

Castle, there's nothing ruined about those ruins. And so far I only have the one elf but I haven't seen it anywhere in any of the bases.
