''Into our town, the Hangman came,''

"smelling of gold and blood and flame. And he paced our bricks with a diffident air. And built his frame on the courthouse square."

One day, the idea of a floating man in the position of one who was crucified with arms that were the frames of the gallows(rope and all) and an executioner's hood with an eye on it came to mind. Many different concepts to make this idea more Pokémon-like came to mind. At one point, I drew this: [link] I found that a little too gruesome. But even if I didn't, It doesn't really look Pokémonish to me. So, I redid them. Gallotie here isn't too different, just removed the legs and changed his eye, but trust me, Galloman received a big overhall.
