Ogerpon
About
Ogerpon is a predominantly green, humanoid Pokémon. Its green torso is spotted with white flowers and yellow dots, and it is capable of extending prehensile branches and vines of ivy. Its long legs have an outer layer of black, but otherwise appear as if split from a tree trunk: their innermost sides are flat and of a woody ash-brown color. The soles of its two-toed feet are also of this color, and show matching portions of growth rings. Between the toes on each foot, two green leaves sprout, evoking the image of hanao sandal thongs. Its torso is mostly covered by a large, green, multicolored cloak-like structure that extends from a stem on top of its head. This cloak frames its face with a large, black, thorny vine, the two uppermost thorns resembling horns. The cloak appears prehensile, and its "sleeves" serve as Ogerpon's arms, able to grasp and manipulate objects; Ogerpon is never seen without the cloak. Ogerpon has an orange face, yellow eyes with white, star-shaped pupils and small green leaves at the edges that loosely resemble eyelashes, a three-pointed leaf that serves as hair, small black markings on its eyebrows and cheeks, and two pointed fangs in its upper jaw. Its face is usually hidden behind one of its masks, and in battle, it wields a large, spiky cudgel wrapped in ivy; these tools are stored under its cloak when not in use.
Ogerpon is a very intelligent Pokémon with a playful, mischief-loving side. It's full of curiosity about the lives of people and other Pokémon, usually spending time with humans while wearing a mask to blend in with them in Kitakami's Festival of Masks. It is known to often cause trouble, such as by stealing snacks from Mossui Town's food supply or making off with items that caught its eye. It fights by confusing its opponents with its nimble movements and kicks, and it draws type-based energy from its masks, imbuing its cudgel with different elements. Ogerpon becomes weaker if its masks are taken away, and its full power can be restored to it by returning its masks. By using them, it is capable of Terastallizing without the need of a Tera Orb, supposedly due to the masks being made of Tera Shards, just like Tera Orbs. Ogerpon is known to have a very long lifespan; one specimen is confirmed to have been alive for hundreds of years. It is mortal enemies with the Loyal Three and their leader Pecharunt, mainly due to the group's actions towards it in the past. In Kitakami myths, it is described as "the ogre".
Forms
Ogerpon has four different forms, corresponding to each of its four masks, which accordingly change the color of its cloak, its vines, and the aura of its cudgel. Additionally, the way that Ogerpon attacks from both close-quarters, as well as at a long-distance range with its vines, differs depending on the forms. Each standard form also has a unique Terastallized state that causes a giant protective replica of the mask formed by Terastal energy to appear around the original, with ogresque crystal horns, floating in front of Ogerpon, and being so immense that it hides all but its legs when viewed from the front. Ogerpon's unique Terastallization comes from the intense emotions it feels, filling its heart and boosting its powers. Because its Tera Type is wholly determined by the energy in its mask, it cannot be changed at the Treasure Eatery, unlike other Pokémon.
Teal Mask
The Teal Mask is primarily teal and green in color, and sports a mischievous expression that is sometimes described as fearsome. The grinning mouth is tan, with two extensions beneath it that resemble pincers. On each side of the mouth is a group of three green leaves, each one larger than the leaf beneath. The top of the mask features five teal leaves that form a crown of sorts, with the four outer leaves each having a hole cut towards the center. The mask contains nine Tera Shards: two that resemble squinting eyes, six as the "veins" of the green leaves, and one large, four-pointed star-shaped crystal set in the central teal leaf as the crown jewel.
When Ogerpon Terastallizes, a giant replica of the mask is formed by Terastal energy around the original and floats in front of it. The Terastal symbol appears in the crown jewel, two branching crystal horns protrude from its forehead, and the mouth opens up wider in a terrifying grin. Numerous green leaves and vines grow out from behind the sides of the giant mask.
The Teal Mask draws upon the power of grass; while wearing it, Ogerpon's Tera Type is always Grass. It is said to have the power to restore life to withered plants. Teal Mask Ogerpon will toy with its opponents with swift movements and kicking attacks.
Wellspring Mask
The Wellspring Mask is predominantly blue and white in color, and sports a somber expression. The entire mask is framed by blue hair that forms a heart shape, with a streak of lighter blue hair on each side. The face is white with circular, light blue eyebrows, simple black lines for a closed mouth and eyes. The mask contains two Tera Shards that resemble large tears beneath the eyes.
When Ogerpon Terastallizes, a giant replica of the mask is formed by Terastal energy around the original and floats in front of it. The mask's hair flares out to the sides, the Terastal symbol appears in its left tear, and two flat crystal horns protrude from its forehead. Water waves also flow out from behind the sides of the giant mask.
The Wellspring Mask draws upon the power of water; while wearing it, Ogerpon's Tera Type is always Water. With this mask, Ogerpon excels in both offense and defense, its unrelenting kicks and ivy strikes resembling the ceaseless gushes of spring water. It is said to be able to stop the flow of a river.
Hearthflame Mask
The Hearthflame Mask is mainly red and orange in color, and sports an angry expression. Its whole shape and profile is flame-like, with a protruding brow of swirling flames and a bright orange mane bordering most of the mask. Its possesses black pupils within its eyes and a small amount of black coloration between the eyes and nose. Its mouth and nose are bright blue, and it has two sharply pointed fangs jutting from its lower jaw. The mask contains three Tera Shards: two shaped like eyes around its pupils and a four-pointed star on its forehead.
When Ogerpon Terastallizes, a giant replica of the mask is formed by Terastal energy around the original and floats in front of it. The Terastal symbol appears in the crystal on its forehead, its eyes are surrounded by more black coloration, two sharp crystal horns protrude from its forehead, and its mouth opens up wide as if bellowing in rage. Bright-orange flames also erupt from behind the sides of the giant mask.
The Hearthflame Mask draws upon the power of fire; while wearing it, Ogerpon's Tera Type is always Fire. True to the mask's expression, Ogerpon becomes more aggressive while wearing it, mercilessly spearing its enemies with thorny ivy and bombarding them with the intensity of a hearth's fire. It is said to be capable of rousing a candle's flame into a raging inferno.
Cornerstone Mask
The Cornerstone Mask is mostly gray in color, and sports a joyful expression. It has a craggy profile, with uneven extensions towards the top of the mask. Its mouth prominently juts out, and has two large, black, blunt-tipped fangs that curve upward. Its eyes are yellow, it has a small, flat nose just over its mouth, and it has a bright-blue feature that begins behind its nose and curves upward beneath its eyes, forming a strange sort of moustache. The mask contains five Tera Shards: two serving as pupils in its eyes and three as teeth between its black fangs.
When Ogerpon Terastallizes, a giant replica of the mask is formed by Terastal energy around the original and floats in front of Ogerpon. The Terastal symbol appears in its right pupil, two craggy crystal horns protrude from its forehead, and its mouth opens up even more. Strands of diamond-shaped black hair also extend from the sides of the giant mask.
The Cornerstone Mask draws upon the power of stone; while wearing it, Ogerpon's Tera Type is always Rock. Ogerpon's defense brims with the solidarity of the cornerstones that support houses; its body becomes rock-solid and easily absorbs impacts, protecting it from all manner of attacks. It is said to be able to break even the hardest stone in two.
