>>51713689Shiny Salazzle named Mephidite, probably one of the one I put the most autistic effort into researching and deciding on.
>Named a non-shiny Salazzle in-game Maleficent>wanted something along the lines of that but more unique>Think of another villain name, Mephisto>Keep digging, apparently 'mephitic' is a term used to describe a noxious and foul smelling gas (bingo, poison types, and dex says Salandit's attack with poisonous gas)>There's a Samnite goddess named 'Mefitis' worshipped for being the deity of deity of foul gas (Ancient brapfags lmao), but in particular foul gas emitted from volcanoes, and Salandit's are found in Wela Volcano Park>Almost decide on 'Mephitis', but it isn't feminine enough, think of THE slut goddess Aphrodite>Combine it into 'Mephidite', which almost sounds like 'Mephitidae', the scientifc family name of skunks (another poison type association)>Apparently 'Mephidite' is also cited in some old Cyclopaedia as 'suffocation due to foul air'.Other nickname candidates were 'Gigginox' (monster hunter) and 'Toxxine' (Wakfu), but I probably would have regretted it for not being that original.
