Pokémon that are multiple bodies/brains but classified as one creature... strange or interesting? No matter what your stance is, they can still be charming friends who work together in tandem in an amazing way. Who are some of the "multi-mon" you appreciate and why? #pokeppreciation #pokemon

Dugtrio, a Pokémon made up of three brown, mound-looking mole with pink noses. While mostly identical, they each stand at varying heights above ground.

Combee, a beehive-looking insect Pokémon. It has three adorable little faces, each in one of a 3-chambered hexagonal honeycomb shell. While its bottom face has the visible abdomen in the back and the red mark that means they can evolve further, the two faces up top each seem to man one wing and also have one antennae each.

Falinks, a phalynx-style creature. They are made up off small red, black, yellow, white, and blue-colored bodes, each with round stubby legs, small shields, and a helmet-like crest up top. The leader has much a much more prominent crest design and has notches on their shields. While they often walk and act as an entire unit and look like a centipede, each unit in this group looks to be its own separate creature.

Maushold, a peculiar Pokémon consisting of four (or just three) mouse-like individuals. The two bigger mice, have a slightly visible grey "shirt" and "pants pattern". They used to be a pair, but upon evolution, they mysteriously gain one to two more little bodies that they are highly attached and defensive of. Mysteriously, nobody knows what kind of relationship any of these creatures have to one another.

Two white cotton bud-shaped antenna pop up near the top of its head between its two round, magenta-colored eyes.

National Dex #042- Golbat The Bat Pokémon JP: Golbat Type: Poison/Flying☠️🪶 Abilities: Inner Focus, Infiltrator (HA) A thread 🧵 #pokemon #pokeppreciate

A Golbat, with its its blue furred body stretched by its massive mouth with 4 sharp fangs. It has two tiny pointy ears with purple inner ears and two angry white eyes with thin, catlike pupils. Its wings are bordered with the same blue fur as its body whilte the membrane is the same purple color as its inner ear. Its two squat legs have two toes that extend to the front and back like a floppy cartoon foot.

A retro watercolor drawing of Golbat. From this angle, it looks more mouth than bat.

Another funny-looking watercolor drawing of Golbat. This angle also makes it look like its body is just a big ol mouth and its wings are also inexplicably lighter blue, blending it with its body.
