Emolga

Emolga (#587)

General Information: The flying squirrel Pokémon! These adorable rodents are found the world over on most continents except Antarctica and Australia (I’m sure there’s a sugar glider Pokémon over there).

Emolga’s are non-evolving Pokémon. The adults average in at 1’4 feet tall (0.4 M) and 11 pounds (5 kg).

Habitat: Emolga like living in Pikipek treeholes (or other tree burrows), and can be found anywhere where there are trees. They’re not as common as seeing squirrels or rabbits in our world, but still reasonably common, and their rarity falls under the category of, “Have you ever gone outside?” They can live in just about any type of forest as long as they can get enough food and shelter. In urban areas, Emolgas have been seen making nests atop tall buildings, and can sometimes be seen gliding from skyscraper to skyscraper.

Life Cycles: Emolgas reproduce once a year, laying eggs of 4-6 per clutch. Babies are subject to predation, and adults are sometimes prey to Manectrics, Boltunds, Ariadoses, or Galvantulas. Mating season occurs in the Fall, when the Emolgas will pair up for the winter for mutual warmth and nest defense, the in the Spring their eggs appear, and the babies hatch in summer. In the wild, Emolgas live an average of six years (if they reach adulthood), but in captivity they have been known to live as long as 40 years. They do not mate for life as a rule, but sometimes two (or three) Emolga will mate for more than one breeding season. Mating For Life has only been seen in captivity.

Behavior: Emolgas are shy, finicky, and evasive creatures. They may be found with some ease with enough time spent outdoors, but they are not easy to get into a battle with, and are in fact highly effective at evading the challenges of would-be battlers. In captivity they can be difficult to please, needing plenty of room and tall structures to jump from, and of course lots of food.

Flight: Emolga do not “fly” in the sense of powered flight in the bird or bug sense of it, but instead they glide through a combination of their membranous wings and the electricity that they release during flight. This electricity functions both as a way to help release stored electrical build up, and also provides the secondary effect of interacting with the earth’s magnetic field to a create a secondary lift through magnetism, thus allowing the Emolga to remain gliding even when gravity should have pulled them down already. However, this effect will only give them about three feet of airlift. Some scientists want to call this a different type of powered flight outside of what is seen in birds and bugs because the magnetism is powered by the Emolga itself and functionally serves as a weaker flight, but this is a hotly debated subject.

Diet: Emolga love to eat berries! They will roast berries (and bugs!) with the electricity stored in their cheek pouches, and eat them. In fact, they have been known to eat so many berries and stuff so many into their cheeks at once, that they’ve been unable to glide! Few other Pokémon will try bother an Emolga for its food, given the whole “they use electricity to fly,” but this sure hasn’t stopped Pachirisus and even a particularly greedy Skwovet from trying!

Conservation: Least Concern, but may be locally threatened or endangered in some parts of the world due to extensive logging. In these places, some cities have made an effort to introduce Emolgas to their skyscraper scene, in the hopes that they’ll establish a population there.

Relationship with Humans: Emolgas are creatures of the forest often included in old fairytales and children’s books, due to their cute but elusive nature. They have never been a particularly useful source of food, nor were they ever domesticated. At times they can be nuisances to berry and fruit crops, but not anymore obnoxious than squirrels are to us in our world. They have always simply existed, and folks have been fascinated by them for generations.

In the modern world, they’ve become symbols of whimsical forests. In cities where they have made new homes for themselves, most folks aren’t even aware of their presence. Its considered an astounding feat, a status symbol if you will, to have caught an Emolga for yourself—at least to younger trainers, though plenty of older trainers will marvel a bit at the capture, too!

Classification: Emolga is in a genus to itself. Its scientific name Volansciurus electrisciurus means “flying squirrel electric squirrel” or “flying electric squirrel.” It is distantly related to the other electric rodents.

#lotr#(I have read the books and watched the movies)#yes but also no#neither frodo or sam could have made it without the other#that's kind of the whole point? there is no 'true hero' there's just people helping each other#sam carries frodo when frodo can't carry himself. but sam wouldn't have been able to carry the burden of the ring himself#and neither of them would have succeeded without the rest of the fellowship or the others who helped them on the way#(the real true hero is fatty bolger. mvp)

@ravenwingdark I tried to do this over messages but turns out you can’t send videos SO.

Enjoy a brief interlude with this lovely clip from a scene between Luis Carazo and Erika Ishii in the second season of LA By Night where Luis, playing Baron Nines Rodriguez, is a jaded revolutionary vampire having his spark of hope for a better future reignited by Erika’s character, Annabelle, who at this point had been a vampire for two months at the most. It’s my favorite scene from the second season and the thing that made me fall in love with Luis as an actor. Enjoy.

Do you ever lie awake wondering how the heck Gimli knows what a nervous system is

Clearly dwarves have medical knowledge far more advanced than that of the other races.

His Majesty Dr. Gimli, son of Gloin, Neurosurgeon, M.D.

gimli trying to explain his studies to legolas, a flat-earther

#*scroll down* #*remember that middle earth is canonically flat for elves and round for everyone else* #*scroll back up & smash that reblog button"

tired: legolas took gimli to valinor with him because they were bffs/in love/etc. 

wired: legolas took gimli to valinor to prove the world was flat after arguing with him about it for decades

Sorry it’s what to elves

So, in Tolkein lore, the world was originally flat, with most of the land in the middle (hence Middle Earth).  But the Numenorians (men who were rewarded with their own Atlantis-equivalent island for service in the first big war against Melkor, but eventually Power Corrupts etc) tried to invade the uttermost west which was basically Elf Heaven.  To put an end to that sort of thing, the creator of the world Bent The World and made it a sphere…but left elves able to treat it like a flat disk.  So elves can sail west and reach Elf Heaven, but a man or dwarf or hobbit who sails west will eventually wrap around to the east coast of Middle Earth.

This is why Legolas can see for such great, almost impossible distances. The Earth does not curve for him.

Legolas said fuck the horizon

God I fucking love high fantasy

He’s a little confused but he’s got the right spirit…
