Pokemon Fusion #24: Marshadow x Zeraora and Escavalier x Cryogonal x Aegislash

Let's talk about design and theories.
Marshadow can be obviously seen being based on Nightmarchers and Menehune from Hawaiian mythology.
But for Zeraora, not so much can be seen related to Hawaii. The only thing I found that seems to be Hawaiian is the arrow mark on its belly, which looks like spearhead symbol from Polynesian designs, and maybe the zigzagging stripes (which looks similiar to shark teeth symbol)
Some sources state that Zeraora may take inspiration from Kanehekili (or Haikili, thunder god of Hawaii), who is said to live in clouds and has a body of sorts made from various elements of weather.
Coincidentally, ocean, spirits and clouds are often depicted spiral in the old times. So I kept the spiral and cloudy design from Marshadow, and I also added straight jagged stripes to represent Zeraora's traits.
