>>22203850If it was hair, surely that would imply that Gardevoir has a hairy torso and inner dress, and Kirlia has hairy legs? As it maintains the same colour as those parts.
Considering the egg group the line is in, Amorphous, implies that it has little in the way of a traditional skeleton, I would assume the "helmet" is a thick layer of cartilage of some sort as protection for the brain and head. Which I guess would make it feel like a skull but a bit squishier. That would make the fact it's green fairly normal, since the line has green skin in other places too.
I think this would also explain how it maintains its shape, which hair couldn't do in the same way.
