Bandames were first discovered in the old Egypt area of the Dark Continent, in one of the few expeditions that returned successfully from there, in the year 260 AS. They were found guarding several old tombs, and assumed to be regular mummies as in the old legends. However when the Water-types and Cactora accompanying the researchers unleashed their attacks, the mummies softened, turning from dried-up husks to sexy, exotic women wrapped in bandages. The mummies also became much more receptive and friendly, accepting Tamings and showing the researchers around once they were convinced that they just came to look and not loot. Lord Henshingly Croft, a famous Blue League researcher, did the most intensive studies on these Pokégirls, which eventually came to be known as Bandames. He eventually began to import the Pokégirls out of the Dark Continent, as their skill at guarding treasure and their relative ease of maintenance made them potentially very useful.

Bandames, when not dried out, are beautiful, elegant Pokégirls. They are tall, busty Pokégirls that look Egyptian in appearance, with dark, sand-colored skin and with stylized markings around their eyes. Their bodies are covered partially in silk bandages that wrap around most of their body, leaving their midriffs and cleavage bare, along with most of their faces. They have a telekinetic control over the bandages, and can remove them easily at their Tamer’s request. Their primary attacks involve unraveling their bandages to tie up the opponent, leaving them open for their stronger attacks. They move smoothly and quickly, and are fierce fighters, especially if they are defending something. Interestingly enough, they have an instinctual knowledge of traps, both how to build them and how to avoid them. This has made some security companies want to recruit Bandames for their businesses.

Bandames are superb guardians of treasure. Even better, the ‘treasure’ they guard can be defined however you want, be it gold and valuables or a beloved child, or anything similar. They will defend the treasure no matter what, and not let it fall into the hands of enemies.

In terms of taming, Bandames are not picky. They like to be tamed in any way their Tamer desires, just so long as they have a lot of skin contact. Bandames do not like being alone, having an almost pathological fear of solitude. Even when placed as a guard, they will not stay in place unless they have at least one other living, breathing person to stay with them. This was first noted when they were discovered in the tombs, as all Bandames were encountered in packs of at least two.

Bandames are fairly easy to maintain. They can eat human food, however they need lots and lots of liquid to drink. Partnering a Bandame with any liquid-producing Pokégirl, such as a Milktit or a Water-type with their own internal well, is ideal, as it allows them to maintain their moisture level and stay gorgeous. If a Bandame does not regularly intake fluid, they will start to dry out, becoming like a desiccated husk in appearance. This can also be exacerbated by Fire, which can dry out Bandames quickly and burn their bandages away. However, bandages can be regenerated magically after being burned away.

There have been only three known cases of Thresholding into a Bandame, each one marked by the girl in question consuming massive amounts of water or other fluids.
