Skeledirge Facts

(Art by ZeilerTobi on Deviantart)

-The scientific name for the Skeledirge line is "Crocodylus Cantus" which roughly translates to, "Singer pebble-worm"

-There's an old Paldean myth of a powerful skeledirge who sings somber songs to lure in her victims. The myth states that when she dies, her soul turns into the songbird on its snout

-Skeledirge have over a hundred distinct vocalization, which can change in pitch and volume. These are used for communication (headcanon from @pokebiologist)

-Skeledirge are the most vocal reptilian pokemon

-They're often used for singing at morgues because their cries sound mournful but can help calm down the people listening to it

-A lot of myths and stereotypes show skeledirge being aggressive and evil, but skeledirge are actually gentle giants. It's very sympathetic, and takes care of weaker pokemon that need help. While the ones in the wild do sometimes hunt, they are mostly herbivores

-Later myths appearing in the 1800s shows of skeledirge guiding people to the afterlife

-The saying, "Spitting Fire," came from Skeledirge commanding the bird on its snout to attack (it literally spits its fire)

-Skeledirge are very popular for Dia de los Muertos celebrations, and a lot of the clothing they wear during that time was based on them

-Skeledirge are related to the Feraligatr and Krookodile line

-The 'birds' perched on their snouts are common symbols of innocence and beauty in Paldean artwork

-Skeledirge don't like eating their food raw, and will char their meals for consumption

-For trainers who worry about their Skeledirges (and their prevos) throat getting soar from singing, Lum berries are a good way to help them feel better

-Wild Skeledirge often bury their Fuecoco eggs in the sand to keep them warm. She'll then sit by there and only hunt in that area as a way of protecting them

-Skeledirges lifespan (including its prevos) is about 75-80 years. The longest living one was accorded to be over 120!

hi yeah still not over the fact that Rio has a name. I mean i guess it's not surprising given Thinker, Breaker, and Warwick (tho iirc singed only called ww subject 1088 idk where warwick came from) but like man. Singed gave her a name. Or if she already had the name when he got her/someone *else* named her, he kept referring to her by that name. She has a name, and he uses it.

I mean, yeah he also just says "the mutation" but like whether he's referring to rio herself or the mutation she has that makes shimmer i dont fuckin know, i dont think it was ever specified

Just.

She has a name.

And he uses it.

i feel like not enough ppl are factoring in the cultural clash between laios and shuro and the many micro agressions shuro faced while being in their group. literally the name 'shuro' in itself is one

his name is toshiro 😭 lets also not forget that he has his own communication issues, in the opposite way that laios does- thats literally a factor in their argument, that his envy for laios's ability to express himself sincerely manifested as part of his distaste for him.

ig all this to say like, was their fight heart wrenching, especially when reading laios as autistic? absolutely. anybody whos ever been in laios's position knows how much it hurts to realize someone you thought was your friend doesnt actually like having you around, especially when they didnt tell you and you had no way of knowing due to not understanding their cues. but im begging yall to step back and see the nuance of this situation cause im gonna be real a lot of you are kinda just brushing over it acting like everything is toshiros fault and that hes a terrible person when in reality hes an average guy who really, really clashed with laios and it led to a very long misunderstanding due to their supremely opposite methods of communication. even laios and toshiro, after letting everything out in their fight, were able to come to an understanding and start a foundation for an actual friendship built on better communication

ok yknow what Edit: i shouldve made it even more explicit at the end of this post, i hadnt thought i would need to since i started the post with this, but i think a few too many people are missing my point so i just wanna clarify. i shouldnt have said 'really clashed' and left it at that because yeah they did, but it wasnt just their opposite methods of communication, it is also very much that toshiro was experiencing microaggressions via laios. it may have been unintentional on laios's part, but it still happened and wore him down, made it harder for him to communicate on top of both the more subtle social cues that he was raised with and his own communication difficulties. i also want to say that the fandom reaction to toshiro and the complete ignorance of this point is also racist tbh or at the very least ignorant. i understand that the anime did not cover this panel, and neither did the manga, as this was an omake, but im gonna be real with you guys. there are enough context clues within the story to clue you into this. if you didnt pick up on it thats ok, but i think this is a good lesson in picking up subtext in the stories that youre watching and/or reading. kui shouldnt have to explicitly say 'by the way laios was racist to toshiro' for this point to be understood, and at the very least, when the author portrays a character in a sympathetic light (as kui clearly does) it should make you question Why they are doing so and what makes them sympathetic, rather than youre immediate and only reaction to be 'well i hated what this guy did/said so i hate them and they suck'. idk exactly how to finish this, just. idk. question your biases and gut reactions to things you see in media and stories, and think about whether or not theres subtext that youre missing.
