Crustopod, the Explorer Pokémon (Water-type)
Upon evolution, Crustopod lose their tails and develop a stronger, iron-like exoskeleton. This increase in weight, however, grounds this Pokémon. This does not deter its curiosity, as tagged Crustopod have been reported to travel many miles outside their original homes.
Ability: Torrent | HA: Protean
Carcivader, the Extraterrestrial Visitor Pokémon (Water/Psychic-type)
Early reports of Carcivader suggest that this Pokémon was first encountered flying out of the sea after a meteor shower.

It was once feared to be an invasive species, but research has shown that this species does not disrupt Nostosian ecosystems.
