“Tiguel, The Unwavering”

“Wimpod- This Pokémon is a coward. As it desperately dashes off, the flailing of its many legs leaves a sparkling clean path in its wake.“

I can think of no better Pokemon for a cowardly wizzard like Rincewind.

The idea of Rincewind coming across a Wimpod during his undesired adventures has been nagging at me ever since I first encountered this Pokemon myself in Pokemon Sun. I can so easily picture Rincewind’s relief at finally finding somebody who understands his own philosophy of running away from danger.

For now, I’m going to have Rincewind give this Wimpod the same name I gave mine: Churm. According to the L-Space Page for The Color of Magic, Rincewind’s name was inspired by a fictional character named Churm Rincewind.
