## Biology

Marmocall is a bipedal rodent Fakémon with a large body and stubby legs. Fur with brown streaks extends across most of Marmocall's body, leaving only its black snout and fingers exposed. Its head is small but friendly with large eyes and ears, and a big toothy mouth with large cheeks. Its back and tail are very pointy and fluffy compared to the rest of its bodies, and a large brown patch on the shoulders, upper chest, and back bares resemblance to a blanket.

A strange moving shadow extends from this Ghost-type's feet, often doing bizarre charades and actions. By gazing at its shadow at specific intervals, Marmocall can predict the future, and mainly uses this to check the weather and to find food.

This Fakémon possesses two different forms depending upon the season it evolved in, Active and Passive, which have differing appearances and vastly different personalities. Active Marmocall are energetic Grass-types with dense lime green fur and vine-like strong arms, but have very weak bodies and usually empty stomachs. They are highly proactive and love the outdoors, spending very little time at their burrows. Meanwhile, Passive Marmocall are lethargic Ice-types with thin pale blue fur and icicle-like weak arms, but with tougher, chubbier bodies. They are highly inactive, spending most of their time asleep in cold burrows, murmuring strange gibberish.

Marmocall, the SEASON SQUIRREL Fakémon

Opal, Active Form: "The season Sawsot evolves in impacts Marmocall's behavior. This form is quite energetic and extroverted, spending most of time scurrying and playing in nature, though often interacting with unseen entities."

Obsidian, Active Form: "Extremely proactive, it spends some time in the spring making its burrow nice and warm for when winter arrives."

Opal, Passive Form: "The season Sawsot evolves in impacts Marmocall's behavior. This form is quite lethargic and introverted, spending most of the time in its dark, cold burrow."

Obsidian, Passive Form: "Very inactive and slow, many Pokémon raid its burrow in the fall to gather whatever food Marmocall has left."

## Origin

Marmocall takes inspiration from ground squirrels (such as the marmot) and groundhogs, different seasons and their effects on behavior, and finally the process of looking at a groundhog's shadow to predict the weather. "Marmocall" is derived from "Marmot" and some word I've forgotten.

## Trivia
