>>37539627I've had this idea for a while, a set of 4 bug-type legends based on the biblical 4 horsemen and common insect pests.
>PestilenceI'm aware that Conquest is generally considered a more accurate interpretation of the first horseman, but I feel like pestilence serves as a more interesting basis for a Pokemon. I suppose you could make Conquest as a separate "quartet" master or something but 5 is a lot of Pokemon just for one set of legends.
>Flea They were the carriers of the black plague.
>Bug/PoisonSadly a pretty generic typing compared to the rest of them but it's the most fitting I could think of.
>Famine>Locust Well known for ruining harvests on account of their massive swarms.
>Bug/Ground Ground is associated with sand, deserts, etc.
>War>Termite Will go to "war" to protect their colony just as ants do, but are notable for being much more brutal than they are
>Bug/DarkFighting may seem more fitting but as I understand it War is meant to represent more brutal conflicts like civil war and genocide as opposed to the comparatively righteous Conquest. Plus Bug/Dark would be a unique typing.
>Death>Housefly Obvious associations with death and decay due to using carcasses to reproduce
>Bug/GhostNot really much to say here, obvious typing but and it's pretty unique.
As for how their actual designs would look beyond the basic concepts I laid out I don't really have any idea.
