Summary
APokemonfan artist gave Orthworm a new look, as they created a terrifying redesign and shared their efforts on social media. In response to the eldritch horror version of Orthworm, somePokemontrainers commented on how threatening the creature looked, and others shared comparisons to other games.
Known as the Earthworm Pokemon, Orthworm is a pureSteel-type Pokemon that debuted inPokemon Scarlet and Violet. Normally known for having a simple smile on its face, Orthworm is a long Pokemon with a red body and six blue legs that can extend out from its middle section. Despite being a Steel-type Pokemon, Orthworm’s ability, Earth Eater, takes away its weakness to Ground-type attacks like Earthquake and instead gets healed for the same amount of HP it would’ve lost as damage. While Orthworm is resistant to physical attacks, it has a glaring weakness against powerful Fire-type attacks like Flamethrower. InPokemon Scarlet and Violet, the Lurking Steel Titan Orthworm is one of the bosses fought during the middle portion of the main story.
Although Orthworm is usuallya Steel-type Pokemonwith a friendly disposition, onePokemonfan gave the giant earthworm a horrific makeover. On Reddit, aPokemontrainer named Millagro_art drew their version of Orthworm as a titanic monstrosity worthy of its “Living Steel Titan” moniker and shared their handiwork on the r/pokemon subreddit. In their artwork, aPokemon Scarlettrainer and their partner, a Terastallized Crocalor, stood against the monstrous Orthworm, whose arms were given some muscular enhancements. Each arm had veins popping out, with hands grasping at the nearby cliffs and looking to punch Crocalor and its trainer with a raised fist. Orthworm’s normal smile was replaced with a gaping, toothless maw that drooled at the sight of its enemies, and its long body extended deep into a cave, further emphasizing its gargantuan nature.
Pokemon Fan Artist Redesigns Orthworm as a Titanic Nightmare
In the comments, Millagro_art replied that, during their battle with Orthworm, they had little trouble defeating the Lurking Steel Titan in their playthrough. However, otherPokemontrainers commented that the monstrous Orthworm looked like something out of a nightmare. One user commented that the monster looked likea boss that would appear inElden Ring, and another gave it titles such as “Orthworm of a Thousand Voices” as a point of comparison.
ThoughOrthworm can be either a tough foe for somePokemontrainersor a simple obstacle to clear, the artwork of Millagro_art made the former comparison more appropriate. It remains to be seen whatPokemonfan artists will create next.
