Description

Carceri, the Underworld Pokemon. 1) Carceri's name was feared as a curse in ancient times. It is said those who spoke it would be dragged underground to Carceri's dark lair.

2) Carceri is a tyrant who was sealed in ancient times. It is said earthquakes are caused by it trying to escape.

Height: 19'2" ((Primal: 19'2"))
Weight: 708 lbs. (Primal: 806 lbs.))

Type: Ghost
Ability: Shadow Tag ((Primal: Primordial Fear*))

Stats: HP: 95, ATK: 100, DEF: 140, Sp. Atk: 100, Sp. Def: 140, SPD: 95
((Primal: HP: 95, ATK: 135, DEF: 150, Sp. Atk: 135, Sp. Def: 150, SPD: 105))

Most Well-Known Moves: Night Terror*, Night Shade, Iron Tail, Destiny Bond
Other Known Moves: Shadow Sneak, Shadow Claw, Spite, Aura Sphere, Inferno, Magnitude, etc.
Moves I Was Surprised It Knows: Holding Hands, Pursuit

Behavior: Far back in the days before it was sealed, Carceri was a stealthy and puissant abductor and hunter; though not entirely malevolent, it was overwhelmingly powerful and inescapable. After it was separated from the Gaia Orb, it seemed to lose much of its reason, and became merciless and vile, which led to its sealing.
Habitat: In a large underground cavern beneath Mt Pyre. The location of its sealing was so closely guarded it was never written down or disclosed to those other than its sealers, so its current location has been forgotten for countless centuries.

Other Info: The three dark scales on its chest protect its aura-sensing organs. Its cry has not been heard in ages, but in recent times is said to sound like rusty cemetery gates opening at midnight.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Notes: Carceri's Primal form is the one in the picture's bottom. *Primordial Fear: Is similar to the Shadow Tag ability, but in addition, all moves and items that cause switching out(Dragon Tail, Parting Shot, Eject Button, etc.) will fail. *Night Terror: A Ghost type partial trapping move(like Fire Spin) that always paralyzes the target when it hits.

When I started to color Carceri, I did its scales and claws and lines first. After I had done so, it had a very striking look, but one that was different than the dark one I had intended. So, I decided that in its shiny form the black coloration on Carceri's limbs would instead be a ghostly white.

Carceri takes its name from a location in Dungeons and Dragons cosmology. According to its Wikipedia page, "Carceri is based on Tartarus in Greek mythology. Its name is the Italian word for prison", both of which fit pretty much perfectly with Carceri's theme, so I decided to use it as the name.

And last but not least, Carceri is my idea of the fourth "Legendary Tyrant of Hoenn", which comes from this episode of TyranitarTube's Alpha Sapphire Extreme Randomizer Nuzlocke. To me, the Gaia Orb represents Carceri's morality and conscience, as well as the thriving vitality of the Hoenn region. My other idea of the fourth Legendary Tyrant of Hoenn was a mammoth beast that represented Hoenn's forests, as that was what first came to mind when thinking about the Gaia Orb. Since the other three(Kyogre, Groudon, and Rayquaza) represented the land, sea, and sky, my next thought would be for the fourth to represent the underworld, which brings us to Carceri.

I have an idea for how Carceri would be born.


You see, he has similarities to Groudon, right? What if the ORIGINAL fourth tyrant was a Gorgon-based Legendary, and ended up being able to breed with Groudon, creating Carceri?
