I hope everyone likes insects, because this one might just bug you a little.....I'm sorry. First up is Pyraust, a pure Fire type insect Pokemon. It resembles a Firefly larva, but with two notable differences. The first is the flaming end many Fire starters share, and the second is that it's head is that of a reptile. You see, Pyraust is based on the pyrausta, a mythological dragon insect that literally lives in, and dies when outside of fire. It's notable for the reptilian or draconic head it possesses. This is also the reason for the lack of Bug type, as the creator decided the Fire was more important to the creature than it being an insect. It does have a tiny bit of Bug in it however, as it is in the Bug Egg Group. Pyrallis is the next stage, now Fire/Dragon type. It is in it's pupa form, but with draconic features and the ever present flaming end. It's the logical continuation of Pyraust, using actual biology too, which is always nice with Pokemon. As usual the middle stage doesn't always have a lot to talk about, which is why I'm moving on to... Pyrogones, the only place this line could have gone, is a literal Fire fly. It's really the only way the line could end, which isn't a bad thing at all. Sometimes a Pokemon goes exactly where you want it to. Pyrogones has the trademark dragon head and flaming end that it's had throughout it's life, as well as four legs and two wings. The number of legs and wings are important too, as that is the same amount of legs the actual pyrausta had, so it's good that Pyrogones doesn't change that in any drastic way. Honorable mention to the Mega once again, which would break the leg number by just adding a fuck ton of them, and having the whole body on fire constantly. Jeez. The Pyrausta line is great too, but perhaps a little less interesting than Pitaya, but not by much, and that's only because I really like Pitaya's use of linking features for it's stages inspirations. It's still got a good concept, some solid mythology to go with it, and a typing that fits it better than some other Fakemon I've seen. That's why the Pyraust line gets four Questing Beasts out of five.
