Overview |
Drifloon float aimlessly in small groups, flying wherever the wind blows. They are more common in humid weather. They are believed to converse by expanding and deflating their air-filled bodies. They will explode as a last-resort effort to defend their groups; the shriek-like sound of a deflating Drifloon is said to be its escaping soul. Though considered cute by some, Drifloon also have quite a few dark legends surrounding them. In some regions, they are seen as “signposts for wandering spirits;” Drifloon are thought to be always be floating towards the world of the dead, so spirits lost on earth can follow them to the underworld. Another legend states that Drifloon will entice children into grasping their hands, pretending to be balloons. Some believe that Drifloon are filled with the souls of those they have led away into the unknown, growing larger with each spirit. They will then try to pull them to the underworld. Their lightness is said to be the only thing preventing their success, as they often end up being tugged around by the kids instead; it is also said that they dislike heavy children. In the past, cases of missing children were often blamed on wild Drifloon.
