Ogerpon (Japanese: オーガポン Ogerpon) is a Grass-type Legendary Pokémon introduced in Generation IX, with The Teal Mask.
While it is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon, Ogerpon has four forms, depending on the mask it's wearing, which also changes its typing. Each mask also gives Ogerpon a unique Terastallized state when it Terastallizes.
Teal Mask Ogerpon is the game mascot of The Teal Mask, appearing in The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero.
It is associated with the Loyal Three.
Biology
Ogerpon is a predominantly green, humanoid Pokémon. Its green torso is spotted with white flowers and yellow dots, and it is capable of extending green and black vines of ivy. Its long legs are black in the front and white in the back, and its two-toed feet each have two green leaves sprouting between the toes. Its torso is mostly covered by a large, green, multicolored cloak-like structure that extends from a stem on top of its head. This cloak frames its face with a large, black, thorny vine, the two uppermost thorns resembling horns. While the cloak's sleeves move as if Ogerpon has arms beneath them, it actually has no arms or even shoulders; the cloak itself is prehensile and serves as its arms, with the "sleeves" able to grasp and manipulate objects. Ogerpon has an orange face, yellow eyes with white, star-shaped pupils and small green leaves at the edges that loosely resemble eyelashes, a three-pointed leaf that serves as hair, small black markings on its eyebrows and cheeks, and two pointed fangs in its upper jaw. Its face is usually hidden behind a mask, and in battle, it wields a large, spiky cudgel wrapped in ivy; these tools are stored under its cloak when not in use. Ogerpon is a female-only species with no male counterpart.
It is a mischievous and curious Pokémon that enjoys spending time with humans while wearing a mask to blend in. It fights by confusing its opponents with its nimble movements and kicks, and it draws type-based energy from its masks, imbuing its cudgel with different elements. Ogerpon becomes weaker if its masks are taken away, and its full power can be restored to it by returning its masks. This species is known to have a very long lifespan; one specimen is confirmed to have been alive for hundreds of years.
Centuries ago, Ogerpon and a human visited the land of Kitakami, but they were shunned by the villagers for their strange appearance, forcing them to take refuge in the mountains. One villager, the local mask-maker, took pity on the two and crafted four beautiful masks for them, that they may blend in and visit the village during the traditional Festival of Masks. However, the fame of these masks soon attracted three greedy Pokémon from faraway lands: Okidogi, Munkidori, and Fezandipiti. The three ruffians snuck into Ogerpon's cave while it was away and attacked its companion, leaving no trace of the human and stealing all but the Teal Mask. Upon returning to this horrifying sight and later finding the three gloating over their plunder, Ogerpon furiously attacked them in the village, slaying them in a brutal fight.
The fearful villagers, unaware of the truth, saw this battle as three heroic Pokémon giving their lives to defend the village from an evil ogre. Thus, the ruffians were posthumously titled the "Loyal Three" and interred with care, while a wounded and ostracized Ogerpon returned to the mountains, heartbroken by these events. Ever since then, it has lived alone in its cave, which has come to be known as the Dreaded Den. The villagers' misplaced fear of Ogerpon has also led to strange myths about it; one such myth claims that it prowls around late at night and steals the souls of humans who aren't wearing masks.

Forms
Ogerpon has four different forms, which each correspond to one of its masks and accordingly change the color of its cloak and the aura of its cudgel. Each form also has a special Terastallized state that causes the mask to transform, gain ogresque crystal horns, float in front of Ogerpon, and grow to such an immense size that it hides all but Ogerpon's legs when viewed from the front. Ogerpon's unique Terastallization comes from the intense emotions it feels. Because Ogerpon's Tera Type is wholly determined by the energy in its mask, it cannot be changed at the Treasure Eatery, unlike other Pokémon.
- Teal Mask
The Teal Mask is primarily teal and green in color, and sports a mischievous expression that is sometimes described as fearsome[1]. The grinning mouth is tan, with two extensions beneath it that resemble pincers. On each side of the mouth is a group of three green leaves, each one larger than the leaf beneath. The top of the mask features five teal leaves that form a crown of sorts, with the four outer leaves each having a hole cut towards the center. The mask contains nine Tera crystals: two that resemble squinting eyes, six as the "veins" of the green leaves, and one large, four-pointed crystal set in the central teal leaf as the crown jewel. When Terastallized, numerous green leaves and vines grow out from behind the sides of the mask, the Terastal symbol appears in the crown jewel, two branching crystal horns protrude from the crown, and the mouth opens up wider in a terrifying grin.
The Teal Mask draws upon the power of grass; while wearing it, Ogerpon's Tera Type is always Grass. It is said to have the power to restore life to withered plants.
- Wellspring Mask
The Wellspring Mask is predominantly blue and white in color, and sports a crying expression. The entire mask is framed by blue hair that forms a heart shape, with a streak of lighter blue hair on each side. The face is white with circular, light blue eyebrows, simple black lines for a closed mouth and eyes, and two large tears made of Tera crystals beneath the eyes. When Terastallized, the mask's hair flares out to the sides, water flows out from behind the sides of the mask, the Terastal symbol appears in the left tear, and two flat crystal horns protrude from its hair.
The Wellspring Mask draws upon the power of water; while wearing it, Ogerpon's Tera Type is always Water. With this mask, Ogerpon excels in both offense and defense, its unrelenting kicks and ivy strikes resembling the ceaseless gushes of spring water. It is said to be able to stop the flow of a river.
- Hearthflame Mask
The Hearthflame Mask is mainly red and orange in color, and sports a fierce expression. Its whole shape and profile is flame-like, with a protruding brow of swirling flames and a bright-orange crown bordering most of the mask. Its mouth and nose are bright blue, and it has two sharply pointed fangs jutting from its lower jaw. It has a Tera crystal in its forehead that is vaguely shaped like a four-pointed star, and its eyes are also Tera crystals, with simple black pupils and a small amount of black coloration between the eyes and nose. When Terastallized, bright-orange flames erupt from behind the edges of the mask, the Terastal symbol appears in its forehead crystal, its eyes are surrounded by more black coloration, two sharp crystal horns protrude from its forehead, and its mouth opens up wide as if bellowing in rage.
The Hearthflame Mask draws upon the power of fire; while wearing it, Ogerpon's Tera Type is always Fire. True to the mask's expression, Ogerpon becomes more aggressive while wearing it, mercilessly spearing its enemies with thorny ivy and bombing them with the intensity of a hearth's flame. It is said to be capable of rousing a candle's flame into a raging inferno.
- Cornerstone Mask
The Cornerstone Mask is mostly gray in color, and sports a crazed expression. It has a craggy profile, with uneven extensions towards the top of the mask. Its mouth prominently juts out, and it has three flat Tera crystal teeth between two large, black, blunt-tipped fangs that curve upward. Its eyes are yellow with Tera crystals for pupils, it has a small, flat nose just over its mouth, and it has a bright-blue feature that begins behind its nose and curves upward beneath its eyes, forming a strange sort of moustache. When Terastallized, strands of diamond-shaped black hair extend from the sides of the mask, the Terastal symbol appears in its right pupil, two craggy crystal horns protrude from its forehead, and its mouth opens up even more.
The Cornerstone Mask draws upon the power of stone; while wearing it, Ogerpon's Tera Type is always Rock. Ogerpon's defense brims with the solidarity of the cornerstones that support houses; its body becomes rock-solid and easily absorbs impacts, protecting it from all manner of attacks. It is said to be able to break even the hardest stone in two.

Trivia
Origin
Ogerpon is based on 鬼 oni, creatures from Japanese folklore that often are referred to as demons or ogres in English. In particular, it may be based off the oni who live on Onigashima from the story of Momotarō. Given that the Land of Kitakami is inspired by Northeast Japan, it may also draw inspiration from Akuro-ō, the Oni in the local legends of Sakanoue no Tamuramaro. Its cudgel appears to be based on a kanabō, a type of club often wielded by oni in myths.
Its face resembles dekopon, a variety of ponkan. It also appears to be based on ivy, although its thorny appearance is more similar to plants like bramble bushes.
It may also be inspired by Onikenbai, or Devil's Sword Dance, a traditional festival and dance in Kitakami, Iwate. Another inspiration may be Namahage, which received Mochi from households in the 20th century but nowadays give away Mochi, which ties to the Ogre Oustin' minigame and the Mochi which can be gotten there. Its plant-based body and orange fruit-like face may be based on oranges, like its name suggests.
The Cornerstone Mask could be based on Onigawara, roof ornamentations with the face of an Oni. The fact that it has four masks could be inspired by the four Oni summoned by Fujiwara no Chikata, a feudal lord who plotted high treason in a legend passed down in Mie Prefecture and Iwate Prefecture.
Name origin
Ogerpon may be derived from ogre and ponkan or dekopon (varieties of orange), as well as ～ぽん -pon, a cutesy suffix applied to names as a form of endearment.
