Galarian Yamask and Runerigus.
Both Yamask lines are some of my favourite pokémon. Decided to start with these two because my future research interests as an archaeology student are more in runes than ancient Egypt currently.

KALOSIAN YAMASK AND INCARCERIGUS FOR: myself :3 dex entries below
[[MORE]]KALOSIAN YAMASK (GHOST/STEEL):
THIS YAMASK CARRIES THE MASK AND CHAINS THAT DESIGNATE ITS PAST LIFE AS THAT OF A PRISONER— NOT JUST ANY PRISONER, BUT ONE WHOSE IDENTITY WAS STRIPPED BY ITS CAPTORS. IT SEARCHES THE FACE OF THE MASK TO TRY AND REMEMBER WHAT HAS BEEN LOST, BUT EQUALLY DREADS ITS OWN PAST, FOR IT DOES NOT REMEMBER ITS OWN CRIME. THESE YAMASK ARE FEW AND FAR BETWEEN, AND HAVE ONLY BEEN FOUND IN PRESERVED HISTORIC PRISONS AND CASTLES. THEY WILL HIDE FROM ANY HUMAN AND EVEN EACH OTHER, THOUGH THE SOUND OF DRAGGING CHAINS CAN GIVE THEM AWAY.
INCARCERIGUS (GHOST/STEEL):
THE FEAR, SORROW, AND HATRED FOR ITSELF THAT ONLY GROWS WITHIN YAMASK THE LONGER IT LOOKS AT ITS MASK EVENTUALLY BECOMES TOO MUCH TO WITHSTAND, AND ITS MASK AND CHAINS TRANSFORM INTO A MORE POWERFUL METHOD OF CONTAINMENT— AN IRON MAIDEN, A LARGELY FICTIONAL HISTORICAL TORTURE IMPLEMENT. IT IS BELIEVED THIS FORM DOES NOT RESULT FROM INCARCERIGUS’S MEMORIES, BUT FROM PERCEIVED IDEAS OF PUNISHMENT IT ABSORBS FROM OTHERS AS IT GROWS. DESPITE MANIPULATING THE SPIKES AND DOORS OF ITS IRON MAIDEN AT WILL, INCARCERIGUS CAN NEVER FULLY OPEN ITSELF. IT IS THEORIZED THAT DOING SO WOULD BANISH THE SPIRIT, OR PERHAPS THAT BANISHING THE SPIRIT IS REQUIRED TO FULLY OPEN THE DOORS. INCARCERIGUS ATTACKS BY GRAPPLING FOES WITH ITS SPECTRAL ARMS AND USING ITS DOORS TO CRUSH THEM OR FORCE THEM INSIDE, WHERE ITS MANY SPIKES AWAIT. IT IS LARGELY HOSTILE TOWARDS HUMANS, THOUGH MORESO THAN MALICE THIS SEEMS TO BE BECAUSE IT HATES ITS STEEL FACE BEING OBSERVED, AS IT DID WHEN IT WAS YAMASK. WITH A TRUSTED TRAINER, HOWEVER, INCARCERIGUS HAS BEEN KNOWN TO DISPLAY A MORE PLAYFUL DEMEANOR, AND IS RATHER FOND OF OTHER GHOST POKEMON, WHO CAN SAFELY ENTER ITS CHAMBER WITHOUT FEAR OF THE SPIKES.

Name: Yamask, and its evolutions: Cofagrigus and Runerigus
Source: Pokemon
Category: Creature
Alignment: The End
Description: According to the Pokedex: “[Yamask] arose from the spirits of people interred in graves in past ages. Each retains memories of its former life.” One of its evolutions, Cofagrigus, resembles a sarcophagus and “it is said that anyone that strays too close to a Cofagrigus will be transformed into a mummy… Grave robbers who mistake them for real coffins and get too close end up trapped inside their bodies.” Its other evolution, Runerigus, resembles Viking runestones, sometimes used to commemorate the lives of the fallen. The serpent motif on said runes could also be inspired by Jörmungandr, the World Serpent, who plays a key role in Ragnarök aka a world ending event in Norse Mythology. All three are Ghost types.
