small fact you could have added, the "curse of the mummies" was nothing more than a toxin fermenting on the sarcophagus while the mummified body rots in that enclosed space, that trapped rotten air would pretty much make anyone who gets to open one be extremely sick. that's the actual origin of that legend.

[@QuizMasterEntertainment]

in a way, yeah, a toxin that was made over hundred of years inside the coffin with no fresh air

Well, the whole nordic stuff references to the danish occupation of the british Isles. Same goes for the normandy, it was a gift from a french king to the danish so They stop plundering france... Thats why They got some nordic influence as well.

Theory: Yamask aren't all dead, but instead that's just a handful of them. When they (or Cofagrigus) breed, the face they hold is the face of what the original two Yamask's human forms would've birthed. That new never human Yamask can then breed, making a tree of faces. That would explain why Shiny hunting them doesn't kill off the population.

[@beafrost235]

That's what I'm understanding XD

[@halberd-3291]

Well in another reply chain, someone said it’s also likely that the wolves are based on Odin’s wolves. But if we’re talking about war... Eternatus is kind of like Nidhogg. It’s a dragon of destruction slowly poisoning the world. And, if Runerigus is referencing the Darkest Day like Lockstin suggested... we need to remember it’s also called “the grudge” Pokémon. And it’s runestone depicts a red serpent. Is it possible Eternatus could escape its pokeball and bring destruction to the world? If “Pokémon Ragnarok” is a thing, I think that’s a possibility. Ragnarok is supposedly when chains are shattered and bonds are broken.

[@Peecamarke]

But i thought Sun and Moon was based on Hawaiian mythologys

[@halberd-3291]

B Black well yeah... but, for example, Lunala is inspired by Camazotz, a bat god not part of Hawaiian mythology. And both Solgaleo and Lunala are heavily inspired by alchemy, which isn’t part of Hawaiian mythology or folklore either. So the theory with them and the legendary wolves has more to do with them being the sun and moon legendaries than the region they come from.

[@charizardfan1017]

My theory to why galarian yamask's evolution method is like what it is, is because the stone/rock thing is absorbing it's energy which could be it's health, which is why the low health thing exists and the specific location is maybe because the stone grows more powerful in that location, kinda like how the master sword in BotW grows more powerful near ganon's presence

[@onimichaelmulling6413]

Or maybe it's because it can't be a fully realized/full size rune stone until it has undergone intense battle, almost wiping out it's HP, then making it worthy of a full size totem/rune stone to memorialize it's honorable (in this case, almost) "death," ... That's how I looked at it.

[@RoyalRotom]

[@dracone4370]

Another country with loads of Scandanavian (Viking) influence outside of Scandanavia is Ireland. Several cities and towns in Ireland have names from that classic Nordic (Norse) language. The most prominent being Ireland's capital city, Dublin. Dublin's name literally means "dark pool" and that gives a very big hint as to what it was like before the onset of the industrial era in the area. Ireland hasn't gotten a Pokemon world equivalent yet, and I honestly think it should. Ireland is what people from outside the country call it, inside is a different story. The native name for Ireland is Eire (pronounced air-uh and/or ahy-ruh and/or ahy-ree), any one of those pronunciations make it sound like a Pokemon region, the second pronunciation in particular.

I thought Runerigus was a really cool evolution for Galarian Yamask before, but this made it come off even cooler in my books. :) I’d say I still prefer Cofagrigus simply because that’s the one I have more experience with, but Runerigus is definitely (imo) the coolest of the Gen VIII evolutions with a fantastic concept and fearsome battle potential. :)

[@WarmLillie]

Yamask probably accidentally breaks a rune stone punished and cursed by removing it mask, get captures in the stone having dark power drained. It goes under the bridge and seals it become a Runerigus.

Ok now I want to know the lore reasons on why Yamask can breed if it was supposed to be human. Like is a Yamask hatching from the egg ripping a soul from a living person or pulling someone from the afterlife to be trapped in a pokeball for a random 10 year old to ignore? Yes, I AM overthinking this, No I'm not going to stop overthinking this, No, I do not have a Pokemon obsession, you're obsessed.

[@U.F.O]

It's entirely possible it just pulls a spirit from the afterlife. I mean, it's not like _every_ human who dies becomes a Yamask. It's also possible that Yamask isn't born from _one_ soul. It could also be formed from a collective of lingering regrets. That could explain why every Yamask's mask is very generic. There's no defined face because it's made of several soul fragments.

Galarian Yamask can be seen trying to push off the slab piece when it’s idle during battles. It also has an extra tear spot on its eyes. So a yamask is being possessed by the dark spirit of the rune. It’s super upsetting to witness.. it most definitely is not fond of the tube stone >_>
