They have bone-like hip armor to protect their backside from attacks. These creature are dark brown in color but the poison the ooze is purple....
"They are the most hostile of three variants and they say this is a mutation of the mid-night form. They make the home almost exclusively in the extremely hot environments such the desert,wastelands, or where poison type pokemon are abundant. Some research show this line began to appeared when when number were at all times low. You'll know you enter the territory of one by see many bones lied on the ground. The more bones the larger the pack. Unique to this line they have able to secrete poison from their body with ease and control are how potent is as well.

The "bone hip armor" had to be rejected at the spriting stage. I had a hard time figuring out how the poison ooze would work. It evolves from rockruff while holding a poison orb during the new moon. Its purple ooze matches the rockruff's eyes. I ended up eliminating quite a few design details because the original midnight lycanroc had such good design to begin with, and additions only made it look worse.
