APokemonfan has shared a rug they created that’s far from a usual fanwork, as it turns Gastly into a fried egg. The clever redesign and impressive execution has drawn the attention of thePokemoncommunity at large, who are hoping to see more.
Pokemonrugs have become something of a niche artform as of late, with talented tufters turning theirPokemon favorites into usable pieces of home decor. While there are some officialPokemonrugs available as well, fans have been coming up with clever designs and sharing them at a more rapid pace than official merchandise seems to be able to keep up with.
Now, aPokemonfan called P1geon_YT has shared their work on an amusingGastly eggrug. The fan says that they make custom tufted rugs, and decided to make this design on a whim. They’re pleased with the results, and with 22,000 upvotes at the time of publication, the community seems to agree. The redesign of Gastly turns its black spherical body into a bright yellow one, and instead of dangerous gas surrounding the Pokemon, the rest of the rug makes up the white of the egg. The result is a fluffy rug with a goofy-looking rendition of Gastly that’s more likely to get fans hungry than scared.
Pokemon Fans Love Eggy Gastly
Numerous fans in the comments have shared their praise for P1geon_YT, with several sharing additional ideas. Several, including the OP, think that this would be an appropriate Shiny form for Gastly, rather than the simple recoloring it usually gets. Some have joked that this isn’t a Gastly at all, but rather an Exeggcute that fell from an Exeggutor, cracking open to look like a fried egg. Fans have also shared suggestions for what the evolutions of this particularGastly formmight look like, suggesting things like Haunter being a scrambled egg, and Gengar being a broken boiled egg or even a deviled egg. Although P1geon_YT lacks a storefront, the fan does take requests for custom rugs, so fans who are intrigued by this design may want to get in touch.
While aPokemonrugmight not be for everyone, it’s clear that the community loves the creative designs of fellowPokemonfans. Although Gastly and its evolutionary line have been lucky enough to get more evolutions and new forms than most, it’s unlikely that The Pokemon Company would have ever created something as silly as a Gastly fried egg variant. It will be interesting to see what P1geon_YT comes up with next, especially if they follow through and create new egg variants for Haunter and Gengar.
