Flavor Info

Pokédex Entries

Imhatan carefully observe those who enter their territory from beneath the cover of an intense sandstorm. They are said to grant wise counsel to those who can brave the storm—and to prey upon those who become hopelessly lost.

Imhatan appear and disappear in a rush of sand, almost as though they were desert spirits. Their curtain of sand covers any trace of their presence in an area.

Imhotep, an ancient Egyptian architect and deity + harmattan, a hot desert wind

Design History

(click thumbnail to enlarge.)

Imhatan 2.0 (2017): Harmontu became Imhatan when I realized I had quite a few ideas involving lion/bird hybrids that would likely have similar type combinations, and this was the easiest to replace. I took the time to tighten up the design and art quality while I was at it, and then the rest of the line with it.

Harmontu 1.0 (2010): Decent, if a bit bland; the 'mane' doesn't really look much like a proper nemes crown, either. This fakemon was Ground/Flying before it was replaced.
