Sorroquine is a deeply mysterious Pokémon said to dwell within the deepest, stillest inland lochs of Orcaibh. Known for its haunting wail, which echoes mournfully across the moors and glens, Sorroquine has long been feared and revered in equal measure, and sightings are surrounded by ancient tales of sorrow, loss, and disappearances.
Said to be born from the cumulative grief of countless lives claimed by lochs and rivers that dot the land, it is less a creature of flesh than a manifestation of waterborne grief.
Trainers and locals alike report an overwhelming melancholy when in its presence, describing it as if their saddest memories surface all at once.
Most local tales say Sorroquine appears on mist-shrouded nights, beckoning wanderers toward the water with its tearful eyes. While many stories speak of it dragging the lonely or lost beneath the surface, folklorists debate whether this is malicious or merely a misunderstood desire for companionship. Though none who are said to have vanished in its presence have ever returned.
Though the few written accounts varies, it is believed this Pokémon dose not attack in the traditional sense—instead, it methodically drowns those weighed down by sorrow or despair, pulling them beneath the surface as if inviting them to give in and rest.
Sorroquine resembles a tall, majestic equine with a sleek, aquatic frame and main and tsil of rushing untamed water.
Its eyes are hauntingly sad almost grief stricken with a single tear line running endlessly from each socket.
This Pokémon also posses to long ear like horns sprouting from its head.
Despite its mass, it glides silently across water, and even land, leaving behind no ripples or hoofprints in its wake. On rare occasions, when angered or provoked, Sorroquine can unleash tremendous torrents of dark cold water said to be infused with pure grief, known to cause hallucinations or emotional breakdowns in humans and Pokémon alike.
Its core temperature is near freezing, and being near Sorroquine causes the surrounding air to chill nut not cold enough to freeze.
Its heartbeat is said to echo like a drum through the loch waters—slow, steady, and melancholic. Drawing people in.
