Devil Fakemon, made by a fan. A rather literal interpretation of the devil as seen in folklore - red, goat-like, hooved, horned, and with a pointy tail. Contrast to Giratina, GameFreak’s own take on the beast - rather than focusing on the image of Satan, gamefreak focused on the symbolism, choosing to create an eldritch, draconic deity. While gamefreak did include a clever allusion to Satan as we know him - six legs and six wings - they ultimately opted to make the creature their own, rather than doing a full-on homage. Worthy of note is Houndoom, a more literal interpretation of Satan by gamefreak - however, Houndoom is of course a lowly non-legendary. Perhaps gamefreak sees pop culture homages as more befitting of “cute” and “cool” monsters, as opposed to ones who are supposed to be terrifying.
