Russell Ferguson

Russell Ferguson is a Pokémon who appears in Littlest PokéPets: Lifelong Journey. Before undergoing the transformation into a Pokémon, he was a male orange and brown European hedgehog with a talent of organization. As a Pokémon, he is a [formerly sandy yellow and pale, now orange and brown] Sandslash. He debuted as a Pokémon in Sandstorm Collapse as a Sandshrew, and he evolved into Sandslash in Monkey Business.

Appearence
As a Hedgehog, Russell is bright orange with light coloring in his ears and bright golden green eyes. His muzzle is the same color as his fur while the markings on his face and tummy are peachy-orange. His quils are a mixture of light brown and dark brown. His black nose is small and pointy, and he also has a tiny fang that often sticks out.

As a Sandshrew, He originally portrayed a typical SandShrew coloration: a yellow dry hide, brick like pattern, white under belly and muzzle, blue almond shaped eyes, a pointed snout and triangular ears with whites inside. After encountering Blythe, his coloration changed into his original orange and brown coloration with his green eyes.

As Russell evolved into Sandslash, he kept his original hedgehog coloration.

Abilities and Charateristics
Russell's abilties are combined with those of a Sandshrew and his abilities as a hedgehog. He is able to roll into a ball much like a Sandshrew and his hedgehog form. He also inherits to not like being in the water, much like other Ground Type Pokemon. Minka was able to recognize Russell even after he evolved. Pepper made a joke about Russell and his clipboard.

Russell still appears to be quite organized as in his hedgehog form, and he is very strong in battle. He might be very ticklish to Minka's Tickle attack and he was very happy when he evolved into Sandslash.
