"Astyamsa, the cave fish Pokémon"
"Astyamsa uses psychic energy produced from the spots on its fins to sense its surroundings in lightless environments."
I wanted to do a sorta sligoo esc design where it doesn't have eyes but patterns that look like eyes, so i played around wiþ the idea that its gill slits looked like eyes, which worked alright, but i went wiþ a better idea. I wanted to have it evolve into an olm and wanted some way to incorporate hands into the prevo so it didn't come from nowhere, so I took some inspiration from a weird albino catfish I saw at base proshop once who's fins looked like hands. This wiþ the false eye concept gave me the idea to add the hamsa, which in turn, brought the idea that used psychic power to sense þings instead of sight.
