Wormadam

Wormadam (Japanese: ミノマダム, Hepburn: Minomadamu) (WUR-muh-dam^[1]) is a Bug/Grass (Plant), Bug/Steel (Trash), Bug/Ground (Sandy) Type Pokémon. Her second type depends on her cloak. The cloak is part of this Pokémon's body, and the cloak is never shed.

Biology

Physiology

Wormadam is a black, bagworm-like Pokémon with a coat of leaves, sand, or building insulation that has fused with its body. It has oval eyes, a long pointed beak, and a long antenna with a coiled tip. The beak is tipped with varying colors depending on the coat. The coat forms a pair of arm-like structures near this Pokémon's head. The Plant Cloak form has several white flowers covering it and gives Wormadam a green-tipped beak and large leaves for arms. It will be dotted with reddish-brown rocks, and have chains of pebbles for arms and a brown tipped beak if it has the Sandy Cloak. When covered by the Trash Cloak, it has a pink-tipped beak and long, dark pink ribbons for arms.

Behavior

Most Wormadam are covered in either leaves and other plant materials, sand and gravel, or trash and metal scraps. However, these are hardly the only types of coverings found within the species. A Wormadam’s covering affects what attacks it can use in battle. Plant Cloak Wormadam can use leaves to execute Razor Leaf; Sandy Cloak Wormadam can utilize pebbles in Rock Blast; Steel Cloak Wormadam can manipulate metal scraps to use Mirror Shot. As Burmy alter the thickness of their cloaks to regulate their temperatures, Wormadam that evolve on cold days also tend to have thicker cloaks.

A Wormadam's cloak is in fact a part of its body, with the fusion being suspected to have been caused by the energy generated by its evolution. Its cloak acts similar to fur and skin. As a result, this fused cloak never sheds. Sandy Cloak Wormadam's cloak is an effective defense, capable of repelling a Starly's pecking with ease, whereas Trash Cloak Wormadam uses its cloak as camouflage, as it helps it hide from predators.

Evolution

Wormadam is the evolved female form of Burmy as of level 20.

Origin

Wormadam is based on the adult stage of a bagworm moth. Unlike the males of the species, which mature into moths and grow wings, females do not develop wings and stay in a form much more similar to their larval stages. This means they are capable of wrapping materials around their body for protection just like their larval stage, something their male moth counterparts lack in adulthood.

Etymology

Wormadam comes from worm, bagworm, and madam (referring to it being a female-only species).
