Biology

Okidogi, Munkidori, and Fezandipiti are a trio of Legendary Pokémon. In the region of Kitakami, the three are worshipped as "defenders" and dubbed the "Loyal Three", which protected them from the "ogre" Ogerpon. It is later revealed that the three were the attackers, and not Ogerpon.

Pecharunt is stated to have bound them via a spell to obey it, and it ordered the three to steal Ogerpon's masks to satiate the desires of its foster parents. Ogerpon retaliated, killing the three.

Design & origin

Okidogi, Munkidori, and Fezandipiti appear to reference the legend of Momotarō, as the three resemble the animals in the tale: Okidogi is a dog, Munkidori a monkey, and Fezandipiti a pheasant.
