secondary design influence?

as odd as it seems since they just did a snail dragon in gen 6, i can't help but think of the "blue dragon" sea slug when i look at drampa, or sea slugs in general, with its low body, and its short tail looking something like the filter on the back of many seaslugs. i could be totally wrong though, given this thing supposedly lives way high above sea level. --Puerluna (talk) 01:52, 3 July 2016 (UTC)

Basis

I seem to be leaving these comments on a lot of the talk pages for the new Pokémon, but no one has seen them yet. They are about some more potential bases for the new Pokémon, (Vikavolt, Litten, and now Drampa) so I wanted to get the word out. Anyways, I have found a design influence for Drampa. It could be based off of the Zhulong, or Candle Dragon, from Chinese mythology. The Candle dragon was a serpent with the head of an old man who lived on a tall mountain peak. Its two eyes controlled the sun and the moon (which are the names of the games) and whichever one was open would determine whether the sun or the moon was in the sky. It also can control the weather by breathing. When it exhales, the sky is filled with storms, snow, and hail. However, when it inhales, the sun would be harsh and the temperature would be scorching. It was said to hold a candle that led departed souls to the gates of Heaven. I think that Drampa is related to this because it is in the games Sun and Moon (just like the Candle Dragon's eyes), it also has a powerful Dragon Breath that can destroy buildings (like the Candle Dragons season-changing breath), the fact that Drampa protects children, like how humanity can be seen as the children of the Candle Dragon, as it is a creator deity, the fact that they are both a combination of an old man and a dragon, and the fact that they both live at the peaks of really tall mountains. It would make even more sense for Drampa to be based off of a Chinese legend, due to the fact that Sun and Moon are the first games to be translated into Chinese. Sorry for the long post, but I had to get this out there. Check out the posts I left on Vikavolt and Litten's pages. Do they (as well as Drampa) make sense to you? Thanks for your time.
