Pokémon I Eventually Found What They were Inspired By

Magcargo = Scaly-Footed Gastropod (Volcano Snail)

The volcano snail lives deep in the ocean inside volcanic vents because of its incredible endurance against heat. Magcargo is Fire/Rock type, but it should’ve been Fire/Steel when I found out volcano snails make their shells from iron sulfide, meaning volcano snails have metal shells.

Spidops = Ogre-Faced Spider

The ogre-faced spider is known for having the biggest eyes out of all existing spiders. It can absorb way more light into its eyes than any human, which explains why Spidops’ eyes are mostly black. Ogre-faced spiders make webs as any spider does, but it holds a second web with its hands to trap its prey, which is where Silk Trap comes from

I forgot to mention that the ogre-faced spider does an X formation with its legs, which Spidops can also do

My mom is afraid of Tarountula. Random but it's what came to mind.

Tarountula is just your average spider in a bundle of silk shaped like a ball of yarn

It’s somewhat cute

It's probably because it's a spider, but she also loves Joltik as much as I do (especially when it bounces which I thought she'd also be scared of)
