Hwiccewyrm trispiculum lived during the late Triassic, around 208-202 million years ago, in what is now England. It was one of the last known members of the procolophonid family, a lineage of small stocky lizard-like animals that had been widespread and abundant earlier in the Triassic.
(Traditionally procolophonids are classified as parareptiles, but some recent studies suggest this group is paraphyletic or polyphyletic, with some "parareptiles" potentially nesting within the diapsids instead.)
Measuring around 30cm long (~1'), Hwiccewyrm had wide flaring cheek bones ornamented with large spines, and like some other procolophonids it may also have had bony scute armor on its body. Its large blunt teeth suggest it was feeding on particularly tough foods such as fibrous vegetation or hard-shelled invertebrates.

#395. In Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, Kanto Elite Four member Lorelei has a house on Four Island in the Sevii Islands.
Inside the house contains 6 Pokémon Dolls, but every time the Player defeats the Elite Four and enters the Hall of Fame 25 times, an extra Pokémon Doll will appear in the house. This continues until the Player has entered the Hall of Fame 200 times and a total of 14 Pokémon Dolls reside in Lorelei’s house. (X)
