Sansattan is a Fighting/Grass-type. The initial inspiration came from the "pine weasel" plotline in Twins Peak. While that creature does not exist, pine martens do which came into the design. Then I learned about weasel war dances which is a tactic weasels use to confound prey. I mixed that concept with the idea of sword dances in various cultures. This amalgamation led to Sansattan!
Zoarimeri is Water/Psychic-type based on otters. This is a concept that has been ruminating since the very beginning and has gone through many different phases (initially being associated with Staryu). It mixes traits of both sea and river otters. Also slightly based on a trinket I got from Monterey of an otter holding a starfish. I replaced the starfish with a conch shell and incorpated inspiration from quiquizoani (per the internet, Aztec conch shell players) for it command storms and tides.
Comessi is a Fire/Fairy-type based on black-footed ferrets and comets. The inspiration initially came from Charles Messier who was nicknamed "Le furet des comètes." I thought their long bodies would be a fun way to visualize a comet.
These were all concepts that I conceived of at separate times, but they form a cute little trio I think.
