Highlights

  • A Pokemon fan artist fuses Charizard and Alolan Marowak into an impressive creature named Marowzard, which combines Fire and Ghost types.
  • Alolan Marowak is considered one of the best regional variants in Pokemon, making it a great choice for fusion with Charizard.
  • The fusion art fits in well with the spooky season and combines horror-inspired elements with epic creatures like Charizard.

A Pokemon fan artist has created an impressive fusion that combines Charizard and Alolan Marowak. When it comes to Pokemon art, fusing two different creatures together is a common practice. The community really seems to respond when talented fan artists reimagine familiar characters in unfamiliar ways. This is perhaps why changing types of pocket monsters, creating new evolutions, and designing new forms for existing Pokemon is such a popular trend.

The fan-favorite Gen 1 Fire-type Pokemon, Charizard, needs no introduction, but the Alolan variant of Marowak from Pokemon Sun and Moon is featured considerably less in fan art pieces. The dual Fire and Ghost-type Pokemon debuted during the franchise's seventh generation, alongside other regional variants like Alolan Meowth, Muk, and Exeggutor, to name a few. While one of the first of its kind, Alolan Marowak still stands as one of the best regional variants in Pokemon history.

Reddit user CaligoMilites impressively fused Charizard and Alolan Marowak together in an epic piece of fan art. The new creature, aptly named Marowzard, maintains its Fire typing but adds in Alolan Marowak's Ghost type as well. The body itself still mostly resembles Charizard, but it adopts the color scheme from the Alolan variant. Additionally, the spooky Pokemon features bones and flames as its wings and borrows Marwok's iconic skull helmet. The artist has been active recently creating various fusions and even designing a dinosaur-themed Paradox Entei.

Not only did the artist create the epic fusion, but they also designed Marowzard's shiny variant and gave the creature its own Pokedex entry. According to CaligoMilites, people are unsure if the Pokemon is alive or dead. It is known to protect the portals that Legendary Pokemon Giratina travels through and produces flames 100 times hotter than Charizard. Needless to say, this blurb would fit nicely alongside the most horrifying Pokedex entries across the Pokemon games.

Like another Pokemon fan who created Halloween-themed fusions, CaligoMilites' piece feels right at home during the spooky season. Fusing a Pokemon with another Dark or Ghost-type is a surefire way to create a horror-inspired pocket monster. Combining these spooky Pokemon with epic creatures like Charizard is just a cool bonus.

To coincide with these creative designs, artists like this are also writing thoughtful lore about the creatures as well. What's impressive are the design elements from top to bottom that the artist uses to make the final product feel cohesive. While these pieces are fan-created, several arguably rise to rival the official designs from the Pokemon franchise itself.
