#106: Koronid- Koronid is a skittish and kind Pokémon that hides in dark crevices during the day, only coming out at night. The crown-like structure on its back can be raised and lowered at will, and the moonlight glinting off of it startles predators. When it gets scared, Koronid shields itself by draping the crown over its back. Though it looks like gold, this structure is actually made of highly reflective nickel. Strangely enough, this crown actually evolved independently of human influence; when the first humans landed in the region of Sakew, this Pokémon’s nickel back was already crown-shaped. Despite its appearance, Koronid is very soft and loves to be pet. Tamed Koronid will play fetch like a Yamper. (Name from “corona”, meaning “crown”, and “arachnid”)
