Girafarig's tail looks more like a Chain Chomp than Mawile's iron leaf thing.

Quoth Bulbapedia: It may have been based on the Japanese legend of the futakuchi-onna, a woman with a mouth in the back of her head. The fact that it can learn various Grass-type moves may indicate a relation to a carnivorous plant, similar to Carnivine.

I'm still with ya on the ragdoll thing, though.

I remember reading up on the futakuchi-onna, but never thought Mawile was based after it.

What's interesting about the origins of most Pokemon is that none of them really have the same exact origin. I mean, Blastoise is based on a tortoise of some sort, but Torterra is based on the world turtle thing from an origin story or something like that.

I wouldn't think they'd make two pokemon from the same thing, same speices but different type yes. Like there are a lot of pokemon based of birds but different types. And theres also pokemon made from Cryptids, like Lapras is based off the legend of The Lockness Monster.

And a whole bunch of the Dragons are based off of some sort of Dragon~

Mythology, Religion... Pokemon catches 'em all.

"Goth" Tower? You mean Gochiruzeru, or an actual tower in-game? XD

Quoth Bulbapedia: Sableye is a stylization of the Hopkinsville Goblin, a creature from an alleged Kentucky "alien encounter" described as having shining eyes, small legs, clawed arms and swaying hips (a movement that Sableye does indeed imitate in the 3-D Pokémon games). The Hopkinsville aliens are most famous in Japan, where they have appeared in other anime and video games.

I haven't either. I had to go on Bulbapedia and look up "Gochimu" (or "Gothimu" as it's now called) since I remember that one.

...I can kind of see that. It's just like these guys:

remind me of Final Fantasy monsters. And it can learn SOLARBEAM naturally? Holy crap.
