This one was a challenge as @scatmandingo requested that I take inspiration from his username. As you can see, I chose the "Scatman Dingo" route, rather than the "Scat Mandingo" one.

I'm sure that's what Scatman John would look like if he turned into a dingo. The resemblance is uncanny. Of course, the card used is Danger! Dogman! — https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Danger!_Dogman! —, itself based on the Michigan Dogman.

The effect flavor might be less obvious. If spellcasting comes down to who is the best chanter, I've no doubt that Scatman would win. Kinda like in a rap battle, though in this case I guess it would a scat battle... Wait....

I can't quite figure out what the theme is though.

I understand most people (99%, in fact) like food, particularly if it has a rich flavor.

Can pigeon magic beat the heart of the cards? Only @mr_pigeonwizard may know the answer.

Yugioh once again does not disappoint with card variety. The card used here is Shinobird Pigeon — https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Shinobird_Pigeon —. "Magical Pigeon" is an actual, albeit anime-only, card: https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Magical_Pigeon

Another fun fact is that threre was a character who used the alias of Pigeon in Yugioh VRAINS: https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Pigeon

Coincidently, I used said character in one of my posts long ago: https://m.funsubstance.com/fun/564119/froggo-fun-62-pigeon-and-frog-conspiring-to-take-over-funsubstance-circa-2020/

I wish I were half as good at consoling people as that frog is.

Buy yes, let us brace ourselves for one or several paragraph-long comments about your ceaseless persecusion of the poor rich people.

Indeed, the best way to summon @catfluff is to tag her in cat-related posts.

Yugioh has a wide range of cat (and cat-girl) monsters, as well as more than a few fluffy monsters. But ultimately, I had to go with Rescue Cat — https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Rescue_Cat —. Not only was it a powerful card during the early Synchro era, but @catfluff herself has undoubtedly rescued others from sadness on numerous occasions.

Truly a modern masterpiece.

@shurikkaru's name is indeed deried from 'shuriken', so a ninja monster was inevitable. In this case, it's one of the OG ones: Strike Ninja — https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Strike_Ninja —. However, the artwork is from a Spell Card: Fuhma Shuriken — https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Fuhma_Shuriken —.

Interestingly, Strike Ninja first apppeared in the anime not as Duel Monster, but as a Dungeon Dice Monster in Yami's match against Duke Devlin. I guess ninjas can truly hide anywhere. (Just don't let cut onions near you.)

The same is true for pigs, I understand.

"Don't you think you've had enough cat pics?"
"Don't tell me when I've had enough. I'll tell you when I've had enough. Keep 'em coming."

Sure, those slippers look cute to us, but they would probably be less so if they were shaped like humans.

Hopefully no one will complain about them stealing jobs.

Might have to find some octopuses to fix that.
