Inkay is mischievous but mostly harmless. The worst it does is stealing objects from hypnotized targets and stashing them up a tree. Flipping Inkay over triggers something malicious in its thoughts.

When Malamar hypnotize their prey, they don’t always eat right away; they use the prey to commit crimes for their own benefit. Even humans who try to take advantage of Malamar’s powers regret it by the end.
