Alright, here we go. Keep in mind this is an WIP, so none of the designs are final. The colors are to better differentiate elements and not representative of the intended color scheme and I definitely want to make this thing look less like a Digimon.
Name: Namerom maybe?
Type: Electric/Bug or Electric/Flying, up for debate
This Pokemon represents Nammargun, one of the many different deities to the aborigines. Nammargun is also known as "The Lightning Man", so the Electric typing is a must. I incorporated many different electric elements:
Its antennae are a Jakob's Ladder, leading a spark gap along it.
Its entire body looks like a spark plug, which works by also using a spark gap.
Its electric sail (the ring around it) has five cylinders on it, which represent resistors in electrical currents. They also look like the beads of the japanese thundergod Raijin and like the vertebrae in known depictions of Nammargun.
The rope it is clinging on are actually cables. When it drives a charge through it, the cables push themselves to the side, creating the greek letter Ω, which, in electrics, represents resistance.
The name Namerom is a corruption of Nammargun, incorperating the words "Ampere" (unit for electrical current) and "Ohm" (unit for electrical resistance). I'll get to Ampere in a bit.
The Pokemon glides through the air using what seems to be a sail, but is actually a superconductive webbing it creates itself. By putting the strands it holds with its legs to its abdomen, it drives a through the web which in turn charges the air around it and creates lift. This pokemon mostly spends its time high in the air. When seen from below, the supercharged air refracts the sunlight in a way that it gives this Pokemon an angelic appearance, which is why it was praised as a deity during ancient times. Additionally, its trail of charged air could have enough of an effect on weather patterns that it was believed to be able to control the rain.
