Papyo


Bug/Poison
Stinkbug Pokemon
Papyo is a bug/poison Beta Pokemon which isn't connected to any currently known Pokemon. Their region of origin is unknown and may have been located around the world. People suspect they may be very distantly related to Venipede, Venonat, or Koffing

Physiology

Papyo have a large head and mouth with a smaller segmented body and eye stalks. They are light, gaseous Pokemon which produce a purple smog around themselves that turns into a foul oder when they feel threatened or may be used to obscure vision.

Because of their mismatched proportions they can't use their legs to walk and instead need to float to move, but their head can cause them to fall over easily. This may have contributed to their exctinction. They do use their legs for grabbing or climbing and often like to hang onto branches or stalks.

Locations

Papyo can be rare but can more often be found in more moderate regions - they don't often like extreme cold or heat. Finding one can be difficult because of the lack of a known recent ancestor. It can sometimes be easiser to find Papyo eggs when attempting to search.

Raising

Like other gascious Pokemon, Papyo should be given more space so that their gas doesn't accumulate as severely. Papyo should also have plenty of things to grab onto as they don't like to float for long periods of time and look to grab onto something if their head causes them to go off-blanace.

Papyo is fairly weak but does has some potential as a special or status attacker. Papyo can enjoy battling and often are a species which wants to.
