Its not really a character design, but that Giraffe getting sucked off...

I get it's funny and widespread meme and it barely looks like a 6 but you really have to struggle to actually see a giraffe fellatio.

Also, since when is "6" a character design?

I'll never be able to see Metapod as anything but angry.

Like..... you thought this was a picture of Metapods back? So the "arm" of the coccon is his nose or something?

I used to think Gardevoir was some ugly Picasso looking monstrosity for the longest time until my friend finally told me the right way to look at its face lmao

*sigh* Let's get this out of the way...

I remember watching The Runaway Guys where Chuggaaconroy first brought this to my attention and now I'm mad because I can't unsee it and it's distracting

During my first playthrough of FFTA I used to believe that Moogles had beaks according to their sprites. (Yes, it sounds stupid specially when you can clearly see Montblanc's portrait without a beak, but to be fair it doesn't have the moogle nose either)

OMG this too

It still looks like a beak to me tbh

In Chrono Trigger the Yakra sprite. I was looking at this one wrong until someone posted this on the other site I thought his face was his mouth.:

It's dumb looking at it now, but I used to think that its nose holes were its eyes and its eyes were weird antenna things.

Another one. Mack from Mario RPG. I always thought it was a sword with eyes. But that's a person bouncing on the sword like a pogo stick:

And last one, promise.

I had no idea what was going on with Geno's face in Mario RPG. He looked like an old dude who got puched in the right eye with a big red nose. But they're the twirlly things on his cap.

I totally thought Snokie was a hairy caveman since I never saw the box back in the day.

But it's a bird.

I thought the red orbs on Tentacool's Head were eyes and a mouth. I thought it was some sort of alien skull head. When I actually saw it in the anime, I felt stupid.

Always thought the Bullet Bill from Super Mario Bros. was smiling but it's actually its arm. I still can't unsee it tbh.

I didnt even think the eye was an eye or that they had a face at all. I thought the bullets were just bullets and the white was just added to give it a textured look.

Wait, bede is not only supposed to be a kid, but they're also a male? Whoever designed that character did a piss poor job if thats the case. Tbh bede wouldve been more interesting if your rival was a grandma

Ever saw a character that you thought was completely different and now that is how you see them? Pokemon Sword and Shield introduced a character named Bede, who is apparently a teenage male, but what I see is an old lady Pokemon trainer. This sums it up perfectly

Thank's a lot, now I can't unsee it either. :/

Link's Awakening was the first video game I ever played as a kid and I always thought Marin was like an older lady and the parts of hair behind her back was actually her like hunched over holding her hands behind her back. Even today I have trouble seeing her sprite correctly
If she's holding her hands behind her back... then what would those two lumps in front of her be?

Whenever I look at the art for Squawks in DKC, his wing looks like a mohawk to me:

Wow, so many Chrono Trigger entries. After all these years I thought it was a flawless game but clearly the sprites are flawed. When Crono is lying down, I can only imagine a big old pair of white goggles on:

I thought the gold part of the hat on Bobberys cat were shut eyelids and his one eye was his nose. I thought he was just a little old man and not a tough looking sailor.
