mimikyu

Prompt

Etymology: Its name comes from the Japanese transliteration of mimic you (imitate you). Its German name, Mimigma, comes from mimic you and enigma. Biology:Mimikyu is based on both the bedsheet ghost costumes and the Bugul Noz , a character from Breton mythology, whose legend tells of a friendly fairy spirit so hideously ugly that even the forest animals avoid it, making it feel very lonely. Mimikyu is a small Pokémon whose body is almost completely covered by a sack; its small black eyes can be seen through holes in the costume, and part of its real, black body peeks out from underneath. The costume resembles a Pikachu , the fabric being a pale yellow with black-tipped ears and the face drawn on in colorful paints. Mimikyu spends its entire life hidden under its scribbled-on sack, which it uses to mimic a Pikachu, using a stick as a tail. It can even pull its dark claw out from under the fabric to attack. It's said that if anyone were to see its real appearance, they would be a victim of a rare disease, which is why people in Alola are convinced that one should never try to look under its sack. In fact, the researcher who discovered this Pokémon died of a heart attack after looking under its hood. Mimikyu's health is also affected by the sun, and it prefers to stay in dark places. It's said that if it covers itself with a sack, it's precisely to avoid the sun's rays.
