Summary
A talentedPokemonfan has made a fusion between Ekans and Boltund inspired by one of the creatures from theFalloutfranchise. Something thatPokemonfans are very fond of doing in their fan art is fusing the most diverse Pokemon. While the choices sometimes follow a more standard route, it’s not uncommon forPokemonfan art to feature somewhat unexpected fusions.
Ekans is one of the Pokemon featured in Gen 1 that became widely popular for being one ofTeam Rocket’s Pokemon in thePokemonanime. This Pokemon is one of the critters inspired by real animals, more precisely a rattlesnake, known for its rattle that serves as a defense mechanism. Boltund, on the other hand, is one of the Pokemon featured in Gen 8, being the evolution of the little Yamper. With the appearance of a canine, Boltund stands out for being an Electric-type Pokemon capable of running non-stop for days, thanks to the energy it stores in its legs. Boltund and Ekans are Pokemon with no traits in common, but in a display of great creativity, a Pokemon fan has combined both in impressive fan art.
Reddit user rc1246 shared a fusion of Ekans and Boltund inspired byFallout’s Night Stalker. The fan art keeps Boltund’s gray fur and yellow underside, but instead of the face of an adorablePokemon based on a dog, the fusion has Ekans' terrifying eyes, fangs, and tongue. Parts of the Pokemon’s body have the same purple hue as Ekans', and its legs and ears have a less canine design. Its tail follows the idea of a snake’s tail, and has a rattle on the end like Ekans.
Pokemon Fan Makes Inventive Fusion of Ekans and Boltund Inspired by Fallout
As well as creating an impressivePokemonfusion, the OP’s work stands out for its inspiration in theFalloutfranchise, back in the headlines thanks to the Amazon Prime Video TV show. The artist based their work on the Night Stalker, a disturbingcreature found inFallout New Vegas. The Night Stalker is a coyote and rattlesnake hybrid created by Doctor Borous and one of the most dangerous inhabitants of the Mojave Desert. While the Night Stalker has the body of a canine, its head and tail have the traits of a snake, being able to bark and hiss.
That isn’t the first time that rc1246 has shared work of this kind, having previously given thePokemontreatment toFalloutcreatures. With their creative work and clever references, the artist instigates the curiosity ofPokemonfans to imagine how impressivePokemonwith aFallouttwistwould be.
