Biology
Mimikyu, the "disguise Pokémon", is a small Pokémon standing 8 inches (0.2 m) tall. It hides itself in an old rag it created to resemble Pikachu: a tattered cloak with a crudely drawn face on its head, and a stick serving as the disguise's tail. Its actual body under the disguise is a black blob with two round eyes, and it moves by dragging its body along the ground.
Mimikyu is a lonely creature who wears the disguise in hopes of being loved and accepted and to get closer to others, as its true form is said to be horrifying in nature. A scholar and a scientist once died after looking at what's underneath its costume. If its disguise is ruined, it will cry in pain as it tries to fix it and seek revenge on whoever did it.
Design & origin
Mimikyu was designed by Megumi Mizutani. Its Pikachu disguise is a meta-referential element of the Pokémon franchise, referencing Pikachu's role as the series mascot.
