#mamoswine

Name: Mamoswine

Pronunciation: Mah-Moh-Swy-n

Etymology: Mammoth + Swine

Type: Ice / Ground

Design Origins:

Mamoswine is based on both a woolly mammoth and wild boar. Alternatively, it may be based specifically on the mangalica, a breed of Sus domesticus which is known for having a very woolly hide. The blue fur around its eyes resemble ski goggles. Despite being based on a mammoth, it does not have a trunk, possibly as a reference to Adams mammoth, an early depiction of mammoths which also lacked a trunk. The references to this ancient extinct creature explains why it requires the move Ancient Power to evolve. Its ground typing may be a reference to the Russian word for mammoth, "ма́монт”, which partially originates from the Mansi word, "ма̄”, meaning “Earth”. Its ice typing is a reference to the fact that mammoths roamed the earth during the ice age.
