Decided to try a different design to better reflect the typing, and because I wanted something less human/fighting.

So after much doodling, I present ye with the Bog Swamp Zombie.

I tried getting a design that would show good attack power, low defense, and terrible speed; but also be able to justify a good special defense stat. The way I figured, zombies are clumsy shambling beasts who really can't withstand any sort of melee or physical hit, but are hardy enough to withstand the elements and continue pursuing their prey.

The cloak of peat and decayed plant matter that covers its body offers protection from the elements, but is fairly brittle when physical force is exerted onto it. Due to the weight of the plants, it has very slow speed; resulting in a slow moving shambling swamp monster. Because of this, it prefers to hide and be an ambush predator, often lurking in vegetation or a body of water to get an early jump on prey.

I felt this design represented Grass/Dark quite well, as swamps and peat bogs are like a graveyard of sorts for plant material, so a reanimated zombie swamp monster seemed like a perfect idea!

Lemme know if anything looks glaringly bad.

glaringly bad? hardly. if this popped out on my game i'd be like holy fuck that is awesome
it shows the dark/grass typing really well, in both colouration and design, as well as stats. i can totally see this thing pursuiting hapless pokemon into the dust, and using those arms in a sort of power whip.

harvest interpretation is a little more creative, but... maybe it is harvesting brains, hehe.

the needing to stretch your imagination with it is the only flaw, for me, because this is a truly fantastic design.
...i have a feeling he won't like that he's gonna be used on sun teams, though. IT BUUURNS.
