Pokemon Fan Shows What a Ghost-Type Magikarp and Gyarados Would Look Like

A talented Pokemon fan has created Ghost-type versions of Magikarp and Gyarados. The two monsters have received all sorts of makeovers from artists.
Both Magikarp and its evolved form, Gyarados, were among the initial 151 Pokemon that debuted in the beloved Japanese media franchise's first generation of games for the Nintendo Game Boy. While Gyarados, a Water/Flying-type, has the appearance of a large and intimidating sea serpent, its previous form, the Water-type Magikarp, resembles a gentle koi fish. One Pokemon fan has come up with new versions of Magikarp and Gyarados that give both monsters terrifying looks.
Posting on the Pokemon subreddit, user Just-Drawing-Mons shared their Ghost-type Magikarp and Gyarados. The fan design depicts the two monsters as being largely composed of just bones, with a few body parts providing accents by emitting a sort of ephereal, ghost-like blue glow. This set did not feature a Ghost-type rendition of the line's final evolution and one of the biggest Pokemon in the series, Mega Gyarados. A Gyarados evolves into a Mega Gyarados upon being exposed to a Gyaradosite, an item that was introduced in Pokemon's sixth generation.
Community members praised Just-Drawing-Mons' illustrations and pointed out that the original designs were similar to characters from other franchises. One commenter claimed that the Ghost-type Gyarados resembled Skullgreymon from Digimon, a series that was once considered to be Pokemon's biggest rival. Meanwhile, the fan-made Magikarp looked like the bone fish that appeared in Super Mario World, which is considered to be the best Mario game for the SNES.
Just-Drawing-Mons previously impressed fellow Pokemon fans with their idea of a Fighting-type version of Alakazam, the best Psychic-type in Generation 1. Much like their latest work, Just-Drawing-Mons's Alakazam concept retained the silhouette and general design of the character it was based on, all while sporting a fresh look. Specifically, the original creation featured a different color scheme, as well as new hair and mustache styles. It also replaced Alakazam's silver spoons made out of psychic energy with nunchuks.
Aside from Just-Drawing-Mons, other Pokemon fans have come up with incredible redesigns of Magikarp and Gyarados. Another Reddit user, CraigRosnerArt-, created a Paradox variant of Gyarados named Roaring Fang. This custom design gave Gyarados limbs, more spikes, and a new red primary color. It also changed the iconic monster's attributes from Water/Flying to Ground/Dragon. All Paradox Pokemon variants either add a new attribute or change one of its base form's existing types.
