I made a concept design for a Dark/Bug type Mega Yveltal as a possibility for Pokémon Legends: Z-A!
Now you may be wondering, why Bug? Yveltal is a Bird!
Well, if you check one of it’s dex entries,
Note the word choice of “Cocoon”. Now, I’m only looking at that direct word, not what it could possibly have been mistranslated from, and you know what cocoons are?
Usually they are a silky barrier created to house a larva undergoing metamorphosis! AKA, BUGS!
I haven’t noticed anyone else make this same thought process and found it interesting. I’ll insert my initial thought sketches below, I’ve got a Mega Xerneas idea in concept as well which I will digitise soon!
My personal favourite detail of this is turning the neck fur/feathers into a stylish swarm of flies! I thought it would be cool to also have it around the wrists, originally I was going to connect the cloud flies to the neck like chains, but I figured that’s be too complicated.
If anyone happens to know Gaismagorm from Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak, I see the relationship between Mega Yveltal and its flies to be the same as Gaismagorm and the Qurio: The small flying things steal life force from other creatures, and then bring them back to the host creature. This would help make Yveltal’s destructive powers even MORE threatening as a mega!
Anyway, that’s enough yammering from me, if you’ve read until this point, woah thanks! And I hope you have a most wonderful day, stay hydrated and please don’t forget to check out some of the pages of Gaza families on here and repost and/or donate if possible!
Tara for now,
