+which might on superficial inspection grant one the impression it's dead when it's really just asleep. Its eyes are a clear blue and scaled feet and beak a light grey.
+Being a (pre-)Legendary, Artither does not formally have a gender, though the individual instances will be wired the one or other way (though presumably wholly infertile), allowing the use of gender pronouns for them.
+Artither is weaker than Articuno by a large margin, but still a capable pokémon to have in one's team.

 Other than the slight deviation from Articuno's level-up moves, moveset behaviour is identical. This means: There are no breed-only moves because the species cannot procreate (normally) and tutoring and TMs/HMs behave as in Articuno.

+===== Relationship with Articuno =====
+The specific mythology of Artither and Articuno can vary from [[:Anatomy of a typical Sehto run|Sehto run]] to Sehto run, but if one wants to maintain the uniqueness of the species, there are really only two versions that work out: Either Artither and Articuno count as the same 'unique species' and Artither is a reborn Articuno after the Legendary bird is brought to fall, ensuring its continued existence - or an instance of Articuno //and// Artither exist at any given time, and the evolution of Artither into Articuno prompts an instinct to battle for supremacy in a way that inevitably ends in one party's death (and the creation of another Artither to later do the same), like an inverse phoenix mythology.
+This holds true for the other Kanto Legendary prevolutions.
+How the Kanto Legendaries came to Sehto is a different topic. The usual explanation in the rough is that they're simply a unique species native to Sehto, spawning there as their prevolutions, usually migrating to Kanto after maturation.
