Something that gave H.P. Lovecraft nightmares is the work of my favorite artist. In "At the Mountains of Madness" he specifically mentions "the strange and disturbing Asian paintings of Nicholas Roerich."
got really into reading item descriptions on this playthrough. anyway did you know the silent princess is one of the only raw materials with a cooking effect to not explicitly list that effect in its description
#566 - #567. Archen cannot fly very well and rely on the air currents of Archeops to stay on air. Revived Archen and Archeops are not believed to be accurate to their ancient counterparts, as DNA gaps were filled with data from other fossils and living pokémon.

Prehistoric pokemon always have the hiccup of there not being a lot of material to study. Case in point, my archen studies were mostly just looking at what avialae we've have found so far and the paleoart of them, I took down some notes that I #lost oops, and drew a few things before I understood the basic concept of what I wanted to go for here.
After that I took reference images of modern birds and paleoart avialae and concepted a design body type for these two. I like archeops, but my main beef with it is that it looks too much like a Big archen, and that the rock type doesn't really appear much beyond the fact that its a fossil(tm) so it has to have it. I decided to play with mixing it up with other ancient fliers of the era, such as tapejara and gannets for the wing style and a different crest. The idea is that it'd be filling the gaps of a missing fossil.
After that it was just a matter of posing! I wanted them to be flying together, and i tried to make it so the crest texture felt like crystals to justify the rock type beyond them being fossils.
