Every Pokemon is interesting and worth talking about. I don’t play a lot Pokémon, but I enjoy the universe and I love learning more about the creatures in it. So here’s another Pokemon! It’s komala!
Komala details
Type: normal

First added in Generation VII
I’m not a big fan of sleep. I do, but I always fight it, especially when I have no reason to go to bed at a decent time. I kept repeating the old phrase “I will sleep when I am dead” when asked about my reluctance to sleep. For Komala, however, I would adjust the sentence to “I will sleep until I am dead”. This is because Komala is born asleep, lives asleep all his life, and then dies without ever waking up. This is dark shit. But it shouldn’t be all that surprising considering I told you what to expect in the headline.
Komala is a tiny, koala-like Pokémon whose entire life is a nap. After several Pokedex entries, it’s born asleep and just doesn’t wake up. If you see it move or its face twitch, it is just the result of dreaming. Apparently, while sleeping, they can eat, go to the bathroom, and even fight. All the time it sleeps without being aware of the world around it.
I can’t help but think about how strange this life must be. To never wake up To be born in your dreams and to live your life entirely in your own mind. In a way, it would never know it even existed. Can a being trapped in dreams since its creation ever know that it is still alive? And how does such a being understand his “world” and his life? These questions have no answers, or if they do, they are too sad to think about.

But also how … how is it fucking? Think about it! It just can’t sleep all day. It has to breed. It has to be down and busy or there won’t be many komalas sleepwalkers walking around.
Random facts
- Komala sleeps with a tree trunk. If you take his log away it’ll get grumpy. I have known some people who have had the same problem, but with Garru’s body pillows.
- Get yours Dropbear Jokes from your system. I’ll wait. OK. Well? Keep going.
- According to some, taking his saliva and eating it (gross) will make you sleep better. I think there are at least five other Pokémon that can help you sleep and you don’t even have to drink their spit.
