Arceus is mean
Arceus was once the god of sickness and death, and spread it's white plague across the land, wiping out entire populations with frightening efficiency. Considered by both people and pokemon as the evil god of the pantheon, many feared and hated it. Though the lord of the pantheon knew the importance of Arceus' role as the bringer of death, many others among the gods looked down upon Arceus as a lesser god. Eventually growing tired of it's role, and growing tired of the seclusion it's role meant, it decided to take the realms of the other gods. Once it was the only of their kind left, and with the power of all 9 gods, it would finally demand respect from the world.

One by one he slew the other gods until only he and the lord of the pantheon remained. Arceus now had the powers of all the pantheon, access to every type at once. But the lord of the pantheon presided over all the realms, and none at the same time. Against any other of the gods, Arceus would have had a clear advantage, quickly exploiting a weakness. But the lord of the pantheon had no weakness to exploit, and the battle lasted a thousand years. Finally, in a strike of sheer luck, Arceus caught the lord of the pantheon off guard, and bested him as well. But in his dying breath, the lord of the pantheon placed a seal on Arceus.

As Arceus took to the throne within the temple of the pantheon, the seal came into effect. It's body warped, and a great ring formed around it's abdomen, a symbol of it's seal. All the realms of the pokegods it slew, even it's own realm, were separated from Arceus and sealed into 17 plates which then spread across the world. As Arceus attempted to give chase and reclaim it's prize, it also found it had been rendered incapable of leaving the temple grounds.

But not all was lost to Arceus. Even without the realms of the pantheon under it's control, it still commanded great power. And without the other gods to prove otherwise, it had little difficulty convincing any and all that stumbled across it that it was the creator of the world, the one and only god of pokemon. With or without the realms, it had achieved the respect and awe it sought.

The end.

I based this form on the 4th horse of the apocalypse; the pale horse Death.

The reason I chose to make Arceus' ring so minute in this form, is that the ring on his current form is actually the physical manifestation of the seal the lord of the pantheon placed on him to remove the realms (types) of the other pokegods from him. It also functions as a limiter, allowing him to only access one half of a pokegod's realm at a time even should he find the plates. (Each pokegod ruled over 2 types, those 2 types making up the pokegod's realm.)

It's "helmet" was suppose to elude to a horse's skull, but that wasn't working out as well as I would have liked, so I just said **** it lol. You can soooortof see where I was going with it if you look for it.
Yes it is flying type, no it doesn't have wings. The end.
