Fronzaut evolution of Eiscue
Unlike it's pre-evolution these guy's don't get lost, once they evolve they awaken psychic powers to navigate the Vinter Wastelands easily, but are mainly found sticking to the frozen coast line.
They are also very curious Fakemon that love to explore and collect rocks or other shiny objects, that Fronzaut will then bring back to their nests. Their homes are these rocky dome structures, that they keep their young/eggs in, these nest provide safety from predators and the harsh cold. Some researches have discover that some of these nest have Large collections of Crystals, fossils and evolution stones which has resulted in the locals/merchants raiding them often to sell, trade or use which has at times resulted in destroying the nests.
These raids seem to be having a negative effect on the Eiscue and Fronzaut and it has been noted that more and more are going further a field to build their nest in secluded/hidden locations. Some fear if these raids continue that they'll drive the Pokemon out entirely.

When designing the Vinter Region, I knew that I had to have one of my least favourite Pokemon Eiscue, be native to said region (Even if geographically Vinter Region is closer to the Arctica/Alaska, so no penguins, but this is a fantasy world and if I want penguins in the northern hemisphere I'm going to have them!)
(I do hope we get to see it's native region one day)
As I said Eiscue is on the small list of Pokemon I hate the design of and the only thing saving it, is that I like the shiny version, for some reason I think the Pink colour makes it look cute. Honestly thought Eiscue would have an evolution, so imagine my greater disappointment when play Pokemon Sword and finding out it doesn't so just like Beartic I'm making this guy an evolution for my Vinter Region Dex.
When trying to come up with the design for Fronzaut it occurred to me that Eiscue design reminded me a little of the classic sci-fi robot with the box-face an antenna sticking out the top so decided that its next stage should be a space explorer, also a nod to Eiscue being far away from home in Galar, just like classic sci-fi movies with people getting lost in space!
Anyway that's all I have to say on this fakemon!
