A Pokemon fan has created a human version of Skarmory. This original character was created by a fan artist known for giving human forms to Pokemon, such as Unown.
Skarmory is a Steel Pokemon that was first introduced in the franchise's second generation. This silver-winged Pokemon is characterized by its metallic body and the red feathers that can be seen below its wings, which warriors often use as swords once they fall off the body. Unfortunately, Skarmory hasn't made an appearance in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. However, fans are currently hoping that this elegant warrior will make a return in The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero DLC.
A Pokemon fan from Reddit called endifi was inspired by the metal frame of Skarmory and created an original character that wears armor inspired by the design of the flying Steel-type Pokemon. The character is a female human known as Olivia Ska (O'ska for short), and she gallantly wears silver armor with a cape that houses a red-tinted cloth. The armor and cape are complimented by O'ska's long hair which makes the accents stand out more against the darker colors of her hair. Click here to see the Reddit post.
The Reddit thread has been filled with excitement surrounding this unique design that brings to life the best aspects of Skarmory. From the elegant way the knight flaunts her sword to the way her accent colors stand out over everything else, this human version of Skarmory would be fitting of a gym leader that would challenge a player in a Steel-Type Pokemon battle. Meanwhile, the original poster also talked about the inspiration behind the drawing and how they were confused as they thought that Skarmory was a Generation 3 Pokemon as the monster appears in Route 113 on Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire, which is the generation this Pokemon player started their journey in.
Skarmory has continued to be popular among Pokemon fans. Recently, another fan created a Paradox Form for this Pokemon to make it suitable for the current Generation. The artist responsible for this creation granted devil wings to Skarmory while adding further layers of steel around its face. Additionally, the Paradox Form of Skarmory also has a more sinister expression that's only cemented by its overall appearance that's completed by its extended tail that features two curved blades at its end. Fans opted to call this Paradox Form "Scarlet Wings" as it was appropriate for Pokemon Scarlet's design choices for these Pokemon to take inspiration from prehistoric creatures.
