Ogerpon is a small, green humanoid Pokémon. It has a green torso with a small blue star on its stomach, and long black legs with two toes on each foot. Between its toes are sprouts with two leaves. A green, leafy cloak covers its arms, the neck of which appears to be a large, thorny vine. Two thorns stick out prominently from the top, resembling two large horns. Underneath the make, Ogerpon has yellow eyes.
It covers its face with a large mask that has a mischievous expression. The mouth is tan, sporting two protrusions from the chin that resemble pincers. One both sides of the mouth are three large green leaves that are larger than each one below. On top of the mask are 5 teal leaves fanned out to form a kind of crown, with the outer four having holes cut out towards the center. A type of crystal that resembles those found in the depths of Area Zero adorns its mask, a 4 sided star in the center of its crown, 6 more in the center of each leaf on the side of its mask, and two more used in the center as eyes.
The mask it wears is described as being fearsome[1]. It resides in the land of Kitakami, and is referred as the evil ogre that once attacked Kitakami until it was stopped by the Loyal Three: Okidogi, Munkidori, and Fezandipiti.
Origin
Ogerpon may be based on oni, creatures from Japanese folklore that often are referred to as demons or ogres in English. In particular, it may be based off the oni who live on Onigashima from the story of Momotarō. It may also be inspired by onikenbai, or Devil's Sword Dance, a traditional festival and dance in Kitakami, Iwate.
Name origin
Ogerpon may be derived from ogre and ponkan or dekopon, a variety of orange, as well as ～ぽん -pon, a cutesy suffix applied to names as a form of endearment.
