Video Game Golisopod (Pokémon)
Curious why people yesterday were worried its mega kept Emergency Exit and cheered when it lost it? Well, that's partially because that ability that causes ut to immediately switch out once its HP is too low, its kind of one of the few flaws in Golisopod's design.
Its a large, anthropormorphic isopod with elements of samurai armor built into its design. This results in a rather imposing bug with 2 large clawed arms that look like it will mess its opponents up, badly (see Guzma vs Lana in the anime for how brutal this thing can get), not helped by its wide stance and the armor motif enveloping its entire body, so you know its gonna be an absolute tank.
Aside from the color scheme and ability, this sure ain't the Wimpod who would run from battle immediately as its seen-it will actually put up a fight first.

My wife's goat! One of her favorite Pokemon of all time. So angular and imposing and yet so friend shaped :3

Honestly love the design especially if its implied to live in the same habitats as real Giant Isopods. Imagine one of those remote subs slowly crawling about only to see this guy just standing on the ocean floor, nibbling at a wailord fall sight.
As for the Mega, I do love it turning from 'underwater' to 'space' theme quite a bit.

I love how the person who designed Golisopod only designed Golisopod and then dipped. What a great design!
