If anyone else has read Tove Jansson's Moomin books, they too might be reminded of The Groke when they see Swalot.
The Groke is this monster lady thing, and wherever she walks, the ground freezes, and plants die. Her touch is deathly cold. She seeks warmth and friendship, but is always declined, because she only brings death. She also has been said to swallow people up on occasion.
Actually, that reminds me a little bit of Jynx. A hideous female, with Ice powers, who is always trying to get close to people but they don't want it because it's frigging gross.
Anyway, I like Swalot's design more than Gulpin, because it doesn't look like a gallbladder. It's still a bad spit/swallow Poison type, but at least it got me all nostalgic for a second.
Overall: 4/10
Even though Swalot and Gulpin look weird, I still think their kinda cute and they do have some sick (pun intended) moves.
