claydol is from the same desert as cacturne and flygon and is pretty based by association. i couldn't resist the temptation to do a funky halo but i have a lore-based justification that that is a combination of the psychic aura claydol uses to protect itself from the rain and the remnant of the magic light which apparently brought it to life in the first place. i have no idea what mine (named dolor, spanish for pain) did in the final fights honestly, can't remember
