Trivia
Origin
Scovillain is based on a chili pepper, with the red head being a ripe one and the green one being unripe. Its two heads resemble the Carolina Reaper, which was until October 2023 categorised as the spiciest chili pepper (until being overtaken by Pepper X) while also being based on a habanero (which is its Japanese Category). Scovillain might also be inspired by kaiju, or, like Hydreigon, the hydra. It also somewhat resembles a snapdragon plant due to its draconic and plant elements. Its faces could also be based loosely on sock and buskin masks.
Etymology
Scovillain is a portmanteau of Scoville (from the Scoville scale, a unit that measures the spiciness of a chili pepper) and villain.
