And another one of this twitter trends, this one is @MrDjWalnut "Make a convergent/regional pokemon by changing just 1 letter of the original pokemon's name". Originally I only made one for MILTANK but since I had already made a HOUNDOOM one for each of the other trends I also made one for this.

BOUNDOUR, BOUNDOOM & Mega BOUNDOOM (Ghost/Ground) The mummified pokemon They are based on mummified animals, a very common occurance in ancient egypt. This pokemons are said to be born when a mummy gets possesed by a wandering spirit, they use the funerary mask with which they were buried as their faces, for their real ones are still tightly bound. It is beleived that if their wrappings are opened, a terrible curse will be released. MELTANK (Steel/Fire) The melting oven pokemon Based on melting ovens, fire resistant suits and the brazen bull or "Bull of Phalaris". This pokemon uses its oven like body to melt minerals and metals for nurishment. Its insides reach incredible high temperatures, yet its body is cold to the touch. It if feels threatened, it can open the hatch on its belly to hurl molten metal at its enemy, causing terrible burns.

After I finished MELTANK, as I was watching some videos on youtube I came with an idea for an evolution.

MOLOTANK (Steel/Fire) The idol pokemon It is based on Moloch, a pagan deity of the Caananites in the old testament (Now considered a demon) wich used to be represented with a giant ox-man oven/statue in which human sacrifices would be made (by burning of course). This pokemon is often used by blacksmits due its ability to purify any metal it melts, allowing them to create a very valuable steel known as "Molotank Steel". This pokemon can shoot both incredibly hot flames and molten metal from its hands, and even clouds of smoke that are hot enough to cause damage, specially to the eyes and nose.
