🎄Merry Yuletide from the Christmas Beast!!🎄

I imagine the beast to have a deep and merry voice like Brian Blessed and the helper to make almost no sound at all, just sniffs around like a cat

AI-generated Christmas entities

I wondered what kinds of new Christmas entities might result if I gave a list of Krampus, Rudolph, The Yule Cat, and Meathook (one of the Yule Lads; not as terrifying as he sounds) and short descriptions to GPT-3, a neural net trained on internet text. New Christmas entities, perhaps, for our modern age?

The gavlebocken (Gävle goat) is experiencing destruction by bird as opposed to fire this year.

Sweden's Gävle goat is Christmas dinner for peckish birds

A flock of hungry jackdaws has begun eating the giant Christmas straw goat erected in Gävle, Sweden, raising the prospect of it getting seve

So here is my version of the Yule goat experiencing a similar form of rebirth as the year ends.

The Horrors of Christmas...

[i-am-worm]

On the 8th...9th..10th...day of Christmas some creatures-

...look I'm behind, and I'm combining this in to three different fakemon forms OK. Look; shhh, I'm allowed to cheat as it's the holidays, shhh *covers you in throws and cushions*.

ANYWAY a few years back I was sick so i just doodled some rough fake Pokémon forms combining bats and Christmas (as per usual I'm terrible at names. Better ones encouraged).

This year I tried to nail down the designs. So first we have the steel/ice type bat Pokémon. These colourful creatures inspired baubles in the Pokémon world, and many people try to encourage them to nest in fir trees during the holidays.

Then we have the holly-bat family. This one has two different evolutions. Trading your misslflap (worse name ever...?)for another misslflap will cause strange evolution to happen. Gaining an extra 'head' and strengthening its powers (maybe it should be grass/psychic?). But use a leaf stone will bring out it's individuality and strengthen its natural poisons.

Finally the star bats! Rumour has it a Pokémon wished to go to the stars and became like one in order to be as close to it's disant sparkling family as possible. But they find it hard to fly in their miss-shaped wings. Lunala supposedly felt sorry for its small star-shaped brethren, so chipped off a piece of moon stone from the moon itself to evolve these Pokémon into a form that can fly as high as the heavens in order to be closer to the stars.

A bit of fun these were!
