Alomomola is a pink,
fishlike Pokémon with darker pink markings on its heart-shaped body and fins.
It has large dorsal and
ventral fins resembling hands, each divided into four sections and tipped with
a paler pink.
The shape of the Pokémon
resembles an ocean sunfish, as it lacks a proper tail fin. Its eyes are round
with golden irises and a mark that appears to be an eyelash extending up and
back toward the rest of the body.
Alomomola's entire body is
enveloped in a special membrane that can heal wounds.
Alomomola lives in the open
seas.
If it finds an injured
Pokémon floating at sea, it will heal the Pokémon's wounds using its membrane
and carry it back to shore.
Alomomola does this because
any predators coming for the injured Pokémon could also come for Alomomola.
Alomomola swims alongside
smaller Pokémon to accompany them; thus, many water Pokémon gather around it.
Fishermen take Alomomola
during long voyages, saving the need to have a doctor or medicine on ships.

Alomomola's name is a
palindrome.
In the dub of Pokémon the
Series: Sun & Moon, Alomomola's name is mispronounced as Alolamola,
possibly due to its similarity to the name of the series' setting, Alola.
Alomomola represents March
in the Unova horoscope.
Alomomola was the first
non-Legendary Generation V Pokémon to appear in an episode of the anime.
At the time of Alomomola's
release, it was speculated that Luvdisc would evolve into Alomomola due to
their similar appearance and identical typing. However, this was not the case.
Alomomola appears to be a
combination of an ocean sunfish and a heart representing health. Due to its
hand-like fins and heart shaped body, it may have been inspired by the Claddagh
ring. Its ability to heal other Pokémon may be inspired by the doctor fish. The
fact that it wraps itself in a special membrane might be a reference to a
parrotfish, or the nourishing secretions of the discus fish. Alomomola being
found in locations with the Jellicent line reflects the ocean sunfish's diet of
jellyfish.
Alomomola may be a
combination of Mola mola (scientific name for the ocean sunfish) and mom. It
may also involve aloha (Hawaiian for love).
Mamanbou may be a
combination of mama and 翻車魚 manbō (ocean sunfish).

In Homer's Odyssey, Odysseus tells Alcinous that he stayed here for one year on his way home to Ithaca. Before leaving Aeaea, Odysseus was given instructions by Circe about how to cross the ocean and assisted by the North Wind to reach the underworld.
Homer describes Aeaea as covered with a mixture of pasture and dense woodland of oak and beech. There were high hills or bluffs from which the sea could be seen encircling the island in all directions. Circe's stone house was located in a "dense forest of trees" "in a place that could be seen from far.
The somewhat inconsistent geography of Homer's Odyssey is often considered more mythic than literal, but the geography of the Alexandrian scholar and poet Apollonius of Rhodes is more specific.
In his epic Argonautica, he locates the island somewhere south of Aethalia (Elba), within view of the Tyrrhenian shore (western coast of Italy).
Aeaea was later identified
by classical Roman writers with Mount Circeo on Cape Circeo (Cape Circaeum) on
the western coast of Italy—about 100 kilometers south of Rome—which may have
looked like an island due to the marshes and sea surrounding its base but which
is a small peninsula.
It was already a peninsula
according to Dionysius of Halicarnassus.
However, it may have been
still an island in the days of Homer, with a long "lido" or sandy
peninsula that gradually became attached to the mainland, in a common
geological process.
Archeologists have
identified one cave or grotto on the cape as "Grotta della Maga
Circe", the cave of Circe.
A second was found on the
nearby Island of Ponza.
It is believed that Circe
had her summer home on Mount Circe and her winter home on Ponza, which may
possibly be the island of Aeaea.

In Greek mythology, Aba (Ancient Greek: Ἄβα, lit. 'wheel, shout') was a Thracian naiad nymph from the town of Ergisce in Ciconia.
She became the mother of a son Ergiscus by Poseidon, after whom Çatalca (Ergisce) took its name.
Aba is presumed to be a daughter of the river Hébros (Ἕβρος).
The source is uncertain, but
it is likely related to aúo (αὔω, 'to shout, to call').
It is also speculated that
it denotes a large Mediterranean sea-cow.
Additionally, it is also
coincidentally the Aiolic variation of the Doric word hébe (ἥβη, 'youth').

The abaya (colloquially and
more commonly, Arabic: عباية ʿabāyah, especially in Literary Arabic: عباءة
ʿabā'ah; plural عبايات ʿabāyāt, عباءات ʿabā'āt), sometimes also called an aba,
is a simple, loose over-garment, essentially a robe-like dress, worn by some
women in parts of the Muslim world including North Africa, the Horn of Africa,
the Arabian Peninsula and most of the Middle East.
Traditional abayas are
usually black and may either be a large square of fabric draped from the
shoulders or head or a long kaftan.
The abaya covers the whole
body except the head (sometimes), feet, and hands.
It can be worn with the
niqāb, a face veil covering all but the eyes.
Some women also wear long
black gloves, so their hands are covered as well. It is common that the abaya
is worn on special occasions, such as Mosque visits, Islamic Holiday
celebrations for Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha and also during the Islamic Holy
month of Ramadan.
