Gorebyss

Gorebyss (Japanese: サクラビス, HepburnSakurabisu) (GORE-a-biss[1]) is a Water-type Pokémon introduced in Generation III.

Biology[]

Physiology[]

Gorebyss is a very attractive Pokémon, said to resemble a mix between both a chimera and possibly even a mermaid. Its body is a peachy pink which is said to turn a much more vivid shade after eating and during springtime. Gorebyss' mouth is a thin tube which is used to sip on fluids out of its prey. It has a pair of narrow fins, as well as two purple sea shells in the chest area, similar to a mermaid's attire. Another notable characteristic of the creature is two white stripes right before the tail, a whip-like structure with a purple disc attached to the end of it. Gorebyss also has a thin dorsal fin which is tipped with purple. It is a considerably feminine Pokémon due to its color and eyelashes, however, it is not uncommon to see male versions.

Behavior[]

Gorebyss spend much of their time in the abyss, and have developed sturdy bodies capable of withstanding the pressure as a result. However, they are capable of adjusting their internal pressure so that they can spend extended periods of time in sunny, shallow tropical reefs. Gorebyss sometimes feed on seaweed growing between rocks, but they are more well known for their surprisingly cruel tendencies; they can pierce the flesh of prey with their siphon-like mouths and suck out their body fluids. The drained carcass then sinks to the ocean floor, where it provides valuable sustenance for benthic scavengers.

Despite this unsettling feeding method, Gorebyss are lauded as beautiful and graceful swimmers. Watching them swim is intensely mesmerizing due to their impeccable form. In the springtime, their bodies turn a more vivid pink as the water temperature rises; their coloration gets brighter in warmer water, turning to an absolutely brilliant hue in tropical regions like Alola.

Evolution[]

Gorebyss evolves from Clamperl by trade while holding a Deep Sea Scale.

Anime[]

Lizabeth's Gorebyss

A Gorebyss first appeared in MS007. It made its anime appearance in The Evolutionary War.

Trivia[]

Origin[]

Gorebyss shares similarities with a pipefish, long-nosed chimera, and snipe eel. It may also specifically be based on an oarfish, a fish that its evolutionary relative, Huntail, appears to be based on. All of them are known for their body length and proboscis-like snouts. The clam-shells on its front may reference mermaids, as seashells are a common wardrobe accessory for them. Its elegant appearance mixed with its cruel nature and possible mermaid-based inspiration may also make it based on sirens.

Etymology[]

  • Gorebyss may come from "gorgeous", "gore" and "abyss".
  • Sakurabyss is combination of 桜 sakura (cherry blossom, possibly referring to its pink color) and abyss.
