i suppose now is a better time than any to introduce another video game creepypasta native to TNC: Epilogue and TNC: Afterword
this hypno doesn’t yet have his name in Epilogue but is affectionately known as Gramps in Afterword. he’s the titular antagonist of my own interpretation of “hypno’s lullaby” which is a little closer to the pokémon’s actual pokédex entries rather than the notion he’s kidnapping children with the intent to cause misfortune.
of course, just because he’s not intending to cause misfortune doesn’t absolve him of his misdoings. he is absolutely still kidnapping anyone he can carry, just for mildly less awful reasons.
to anyone interested, his moveset is Hypnosis, Dream Eater, Teleport, and Nasty Plot. he can of course also use any manner of physical attacks because he exists within the real world and it doesn’t take much practice to punch or headbutt someone. his ability is Insomnia, which, unfortunately, doesn’t help him very much outside of a battle setting and just makes it hard for him to sleep.
