Sword Dancers are an unusual breed of Pokégirl, and are believed to be among Cocooners first creations. They are proficient sword fighters, as strong as any fighting type. However, they are actually a bug-type Pokégirl! This unexpected turn has baffled many, and has endlessly frustrated psychic types who fight them, as they cannot use their psychic attacks as liberally against the bugs. This, in turn, makes them a favored Pokégirl by Fighting-type owners who are sick of fighting Psychics.
Sword Dancers are tall, slender girls, usually with B-Cup breasts, at least seven feet tall at the smallest, and usually with some shade of red skin. An armored carapace covers their arms, legs, and vital areas, growing out on her body in plates that can be removed around their torso. In addition, they have six long, chitinous protrusions on their back which are actually sheaths for natural swords that grow from their body. The ‘swords’ are made of an organic material similar to the substance that makes up their natural armor and are as hard as tempered steel. If damaged, they can regenerate them by leaving the broken blades in their natural ‘sheaths,’ although to do this the Sword Dancer will require much greater portions of food. Their hands and feet are three-fingered claws, and their faces are insectile in nature, bearing slight horns on the forehead, long hair that has two locks of it curling up into pseudo antennae, and compound eyes. But their most striking feature it the fact that they have six arms. These arms allow for increased dexterity, making their attacks almost dance-like in appearance. Also, they have a unique skeletal-muscular structure in their backs, allowing them to operate their six arms without causing back problems that usually occur in multi-armed Pokégirls such as the Amachamp.
Everything Sword Dancers do is graceful and dance-like. They are calm, refined Pokégirls who treat their Tamers like royalty, referring to them as ‘my liege.’ They are usually overly serious, and can sometimes be hard to get along with (especially for more cheerful Pokégirls), but show great respect for their Harem-sisters, offering help when asked. Their greatest joy, however, is something completely unrelated to battle: Dancing. They love to dance, any time and anywhere. They were the first Pokégirls on record to use the Sword Dance technique, although their version is a lot more spectacular than most others are. They have a friendly rivalry with Moogirls, and when given the chance will engage in dance competitions with them. Usually these contests end in a draw, as the judges can’t make up their mind between the slam-dancing pure style of the Moogirls to the psychedelic, sensual movements of the Sword Dancers.
Sword Dancers, strangely enough, also seem to have light magical talents. They cannot cast spells, but they can use it to retrieve lost swords, which allows them to use their natural weapons as projectiles. They can also use it to instantly repair the swords if they are destroyed beyond their natural ability to regenerate. In addition, they can use a quick dance spell to teleport themselves and others, although they cannot teleport more than 1000 pounds of material at a time without being very drained from the effort.
Feral Sword Dancers are far less graceful and more savage than their Tamed counterparts. This has the added advantage of making them clumsy in combat and easier to capture and tame. In addition to this, a lot of the Sword Dancer’s attacks are more likely to hit themselves, as they lose a lot of coordination while Feral. It takes concentration to manipulate six swords at once. Their armor is the only thing that keeps Feral Sword Dancers from cutting themselves up.
In terms of Taming, they prefer to be on top, using their six arms to caress and massage their Tamer. Their natural sword sheaths can’t be folded back completely, making sleeping on their backs a problem. They like being Tamed from behind, as well, and greatly enjoy bondage as well. A big thrill for a Sword Dancer is a Tamer taking them in the rear while holding one of their own swords to their throat, all six of their arms bound up, leaving them near helpless.
Threshold cases of Sword Dancers are surprisingly rare. Only a few have occurred, and only in Johto and Indigo, where the breeds are most common. Researchers have little clue why this occurs.
