It’s about time I made a character sheet for Peder. This is an older character from my Norwegian folktale novel that’s still in development. But maybe soon… 👀

I'm still obsessed with folktales, so thought i'd add another one to the series. This one is based on the Chinese story 'Li Chi Slays a Serpent'. Here's Li Chi on the hunt for the beast, guided by the spirits of the serpent's past victims.

For this Pokémon, I knew what I wanted, but not why. I had those clouds that you sometimes see in representations of myths and folktale in mind... and I just ran with it. From there I jumped to martial arts and things just came together.

I've had these wee starters sitting on my computer for a few weeks now. The fire one is a survivor from my last batch. Wanna develop them further since I'm inspired by Scarlet and Violet. I want them all based on Scottish Folktales? Grass needs some finessing?

Found this cool lil folktale in my desperate study of Portugese culture. It was hard to find a rooster Pokemon aside from Blaziken so this was the best I could do.
