Decided it would be awesome to try and do a holiday themed Pokemon illustration. So we got Abomasnow as the snow man, Delibird Santa, Sawsbuck Rudolf, the mimes as elves, Chingling jingle bells, and Froslass as the ghost of Christmas past or something. Now for some flavor text~

At the summit of Mt. Coronet there is no Pokemon more imposing than Abomasnow. Though they have enormous claws and impressive stature, they are actually herbivores primarily using their claws to dig up vegetation from under ice sheets. Before the advent of the last century, climbing to the peak of Mt. Coronet was accomplished a mere handful of times. As such reports of a great "abominable snow man" were seen as stories created by exhausted hikers to embellish their travels. Once an Abomasnow was captured and documented it was noted that they often have large build ups of algae in their fur-like feathers. It is thought they they grow the algae during long periods of hibernation through the coldest months of the year. Perhaps most exciting was the discovery that the closest living relative to Abomasnow is Druddigon proving that Abomasnow came from dragon type ancestry.

Snover are a fairly common sight throughout the frigid regions of Sinnoh should one know what to look for. They exhibit distinct plumage on their heads that mimic the look of snow covered shrubs. With this adaptation they nestle into the snow and disguise themselves from travelers and larger Pokemon species. They grow very slowly, taking as much as forty years to reach adult size, this is in part due to their diet of low nutrient, frosty vegetation. Captive Snover are treated to high nutrient foods and reach full size at a far faster rate.

Though Sawsbuck are all together a rather uninteresting Pokemon species, they are known for one unique behavior. Both genders exhibit antlers year round, but during the summer and fall they collect branches from various trees in their antlers. It is highly uncommon to spot an adult Sawsbuck without some form of plant life twisted in their antlers during this time. In the winter however Sawsbuck are primarily seen with bare antlers as they live predominantly in deciduous forests.

Delibird are the much smaller cousins of Empoleon. Unlike Empoleon, Delibird have a wild mass of feathers on their tails creating a sack-like appearance. Within these tails they store the shiny stones and polished pebbles they seek. Male Delibird try to collect as many of these treasures as they can to present them to females. Dominant males often exhibit much larger tails as they can store more presents and get all the ladies.

Froslass live exclusively in the coldest of frozen environments. A result of this means they are incredible rarely seen. With their ghostly translucent wings and massive false eyes on their thorax they have been mistaken by weary travelers for ominous spirits. Scientists are often amused by how many Pokemon common folk believe to be ghosts.

Chingling are the smallest psychic type pokemon that have been discovered. It is really quite remarkable that something so small possesses the brain capacity to perform such mental feats. Charmingly they are capable of producing small jingling noises when threatened.

Mr. Mime developed the ability to create psychic barriers, which they use for both defense from would be predators and as a means of travel as they can create barriers and proceed to climb them. This allows Mr. Mimes to be seen in a wide range of locations. Mr. Mime has long been the butt of many, many jokes within the Pokemon Academic community. Though they enjoy incredible mental acuity, they do not possess the same grasp on speech. When called by name they try to replicate the noise with hilarious failure.

Some find Mr. Mime charming and cute, Mime Jr. on the other hand is a disgusting abomination. The juvenile Mr. Mimes have yet to develop their barrier ability and as such have the most repulsive false head on their tail that they use as a threat display. Its effective in nauseating Pokemon and trainers alike. In fact only the professors with the strongest will and sturdiest stomach can endure their presence for long. Gross.
