Kieran concept art, plus 3D model render, from the DLC guidebook.
These are taken directly from the e-book, so they're all official art: no fan reconstructions/enhancements/re-lining, etc.

glitchpon lore below (hakkyo ogrepon)
You arrive at the Kitakami Mask Festival, ready to have a good time with your family and friends before you spot what seems to be a lost child wandering around. You approach the child but notice something is off about it. Its clothing seems to be shifting from green, blue, orange, gray, and other various colors. It holds a mask that shifts through its colors mechanically over and over again. You call out to the child and it turns to face you in the blink of an eye. Suddenly, this paralyzing feeling attacks you, and you feel like every single aspect of you is being looked at and scrutinized at every angle. You feel cold and dizzy from its gaze, and you can't help but look at its eyes. Only one is pitch black, and the other seems to be in the shape of a star, but around it is distorted, its body hazy and unclear, the shadows not hitting it quite right. Suddenly, that agonizing feeling washes out, and it speaks in a cold, dead, robotic voice:
{{GENERATING RESPONSE}}
[you_are_not_diane]
The child leaves as if you never existed, continuing to search for this mysterious "Diane" until the cold death of the virtual universe.
What is Glitchpon?
Glitchpon is part of the Hakkyo!AU created by me, although an explanation for that debacle will be done another time.
Glitchpon was the Ogrepon that was SUPPOSED to be caught by Diane, but wasn't due to Kieran altering the events of the story and causing Ogrepon to never even be encountered. However, since Ogrepon is programmed to be caught by the player, they hop from game to game hoping to find Diane someday. Unfortunately, Diane died trying to save Kieran, so Glitchpon can never find Diane because her account will never be logged back on. The closest thing that Glitchpon will have to Diane is, ironically, Kieran. The same Kieran that caused her to become incomplete. If she ever does find Kieran, all that repressed battle data will come to the surface and she will likely end up killing Kieran (or anyone with a slightly similar trainer ID to Diane). So she wanders alone, a husk of what she should have been.

Blood of my blood
I was originally going to post the N & V drawing, but I had a funny idea and went with it
ppl rly seem to like my pokemon art so I'll share some more
I made a reference of Kieran for the "Power Always Comes At a Price" au!
Here's the major story for the AU
After being beat by Florian/Juliana In the champion's league, he decides that if his pokemon couldn't get stronger, then he will. After scouring the library for any information on humans getting stronger, he finds out about a tale of a human who became a pokemon hybrid inside the crater of area zero alongside both the tale of Pecharunt and the Terapagos of Area Zero. After going back to his home town of kitikami and capturing Pecharunt with his masterball instead of terapagos, He is sent alongside Carmine and Florian/Juliana to a trip to area zero by Briar to find the "Greatest Treasure of Area Zero" (Terapgos) and asks the protagonist if he could borrow ogerpon while they’re down in area zero. The protagonist obliges and gives him the ogre. As they ascend further into area zero, Kieran finds lost Pokémon fuse tech amongst the rubble from when sada was still working in area zero (she’s alive in this au but her fate is a whole other story on it’s own.) When they reach the bottom of area zero, Kieran grabs Terapagos and turns on the machine with both pecharunt and ogerpon also inside the machine. When the process is complete, a great ball of light shines before dissipating away reavealing the machine, now burnt and useless, and in the center of it all lies Kieran no longer human or Pokémon anymore.
post fusion, he got really screwed up after the transformation. With his head and face being the only reminder of what Kieran once was pre-chimerization. As while the three legendries were gone physically, Kieran soon realized that they began to hear the voices in his head, these voices being terapagos, ogerpon, and pecharunt. As Kieran, at first, was unable to quell the ogre and the peach's arguing alongside the cries of the divine terrapin. Quickly, this drove Kieran "feral". After Florian/Juliana and Carmine were able to defeat the crazed Kieran; He was able to regain most control of his new body afterwards.
For inspirations for the design, I based the body on the Kothoga from The Relic and the Scorpius rex from Camp Cretaceous alongside the barbs of the tripe strike from the HTTYD tv show for the toxic chain barbs that sprout from Kieran's waist (if you wanted to know what those were.)
here are the shade-less alts and the tranpsarents with shade and shadeless alts.
