Honey Glider[]
Honey Glider has three prototype designs:
In his first prototype design, he was originally going to be a crazy and mangy bat named Gulper with Lumpy's body shape who would eat uncontrollably. It was scrapped because of the same reason for Tangles' prototype design.
In his second prototype design, he was a normal sized tree friend and didn't have a long snout and was periwinkle and was a nutty-sue. It was scrapped due to being too identical to Glider.
