A corruption of dugong, an aquatic mammal
The pokemon is either very uninspired or very inspired depending on how you look at it

wow thanks everyone

>>25752588
Don't listen to them. Dewgong is actually based on an LHC

>>25752505

Disagree, though there should be a Narwhal pokemon, and Dewgong should get a cross gen evo that actually looks good.

>>25752570

It's not a corruption, it's a portmanteau of dew + dugong

>>25752635
Yea I guess, I just don't really get what dew has to do with it

>>25752505
Might be its mega

>>25752635
Like how Seel is see + seal. Because you see a seal.

>>25752655
Mega Dewgong should be a streamlined, regal looking luger with an ice spear to differentiate itself from the obligatory gratuitously rotund Mega Walrein.

Dew = water
Dugong

Everyone says Seel is shit, but I love how its fin looks like his paws, as if the back legs evolved into a fin.

>Dewgong was one of my favourite Pokemon when I was a kid and now I keep forgetting it exists
I wonder if any of their designers will ever figure out a good way to make it more memorable.

>>25752505
that's what she said

>>25756062
Give it an evo or Mega that's a narwhal, but give the horn an aurora coloring, similar to Aurorus's sails.

If done right, could be amazing.

>>25756184
I'm not a big fan of random species switching and I reckon the boys at Game Freak feel much the same.
I really dig the pure white thing, but having it shimmer or something - giving off an aurora could be really cool.

>seal
>dugong

The line already involved species switching. A narwhal could fit in with the line, I think. Name it Narwall.

>>25756238
But... What of its Nihongo names?

>>25756250
Based on a seal and dugong, so I'm sure they could corrupt narwhal somehow.

>>25756309
Ah, your argument is faultless, I guess.

>>25756224
Seel and Dewgong both have a small horn on their head for breaking ice, which is (I think?) exactly what narwhals use them for. A narwhal evo would come out pretty naturally!

>>25756369
Narwhal's do have much weirder heads though, if that's an eloquent enough way of explaining it. Their horns are positioned in relation to their eyes so they can efficiently use them. Dewgong's is just like a head decoration or something. Just a design detail that might be hard to work around.
