Hat
OK this one isn’t an animal but hear us out. This may sound like lunacy, but it’s not that far from the realm of possibility. Thanks to the preponderance of ghost-type Pokemon possessing random household items, we have seen… a haunted chandelier, a haunted set of keys, a haunted lawnmower, a haunted sand castle, and a haunted loaf of bread. Only one of those is imaginary, and the fact that it’s hard to judge which one helps to illustrate the point.
Nintendo does love to cross-promote when possible, so a spooky hat gives the perfect opportunity to make allusions towards the upcoming Super Mario Odyssey. For a limited time, grab yourself a Cappy-styled Hatori! Christmas is approaching? Celebrate the holiday season with a Hatori fashioned after Santa’s hat. Fedora Hatori! Beret Hatori! Balaclava Hatori, if you’re feeling particularly bold!
And here’s the kicker; the seemingly arbitrary name Hatori? A portmanteau of hat and ‘hitori’, the Japanese word for “alone.” Gold. Certified eerie gold.
Any others that spring to mind? Be sure to leave your own ideas in the comments! And if you’re really keen, feel free to draw your own interpretation of the glorious Hatori. Surely, it’ll be an enlightening experience.
