Mareep is one of my all time favorite pokemon. For my post-apocalyptic pokemon region concept, I wanted to have a lot of pokemon who adapt to tough conditions. The idea with these guys is that they can perfectly regulate their temperature to survive hazardous environments. In game, I imagine they’d have an ability that makes them able to take advantage of both harsh sun and snow.
Mareep – FIRE
This regional Mareep has adapted to cold environments, growing thick wool that radiates heat. A pack of Mareep huddled together can stay perfectly comfortable during an intense blizzard. Recently, Mareep’s habitat has experienced extreme fluctuations in temperature – the mountain peaks they reside on have been clear of snow for the first time in decades. This leads to some discomfort among the thick-wooled Mareep.
Flaaffy – FIRE/ICE
The icy gem on Flaafy’s tail can cool its whole body or its companions down significantly, if needed. Along with its dense coat of wool, Flaaffy’s ability to regulate temperature is unmatched and increasingly valuable in extreme changing climates.
Temperam – FIRE/ICE
Temperam leads flocks of Mareep, using its chilling abilities to keep the group comfortable during hot seasons. Each flock of Mareep typically has one Temperam as its leader, and the flocks do battle with other flocks to compete for territory. Its can control its own body temperature and the temperature around it, ranging from freezing cold to burning hot.
Let me know what you think 😀
