Red's Unknown Pokémon

This unknown Pokémon only appeared in the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga. It was caught by the main character Red in Viridian Forest, but escaped a short time later.
It is often thought to be of the Bug type, although it is also theorized that the Pokémon may be an off-model representation of Diglett; the Pocket Monsters manga has been known for off-model representations (including Persian's forehead gem being misinterpreted as a third eye) based on the sprites seen in Pokémon Red and Green Version. It is possible that the dirt surrounding Diglett was misinterpreted as numerous legs, and its nose as a mouth. https://www.google.com/amp/s/qbertp.tumblr.com/post/177028166016/the-strange-case-of/amp
