Physical Description[edit]
Drilbur is a chubby mole-like Pokémon. It has a plump black body with blue streaks along with a white snout and white claws. It has blue round spot on its palms. Drilbur has wide eyes that are almost completely white but contain a single black dot-like pupil. It has oval shaped feet that have three toes. It has three sharp white claws on each arm. Its claws are almost connected, but the three lines show three claws.
History[edit]
The Drillbur line has little history, most of it dating to their discovery. Dillbur's are often considered to be pests by farmers as they will often either purposefully or accidently dig up roots of crops but Excadrills are always approached with extra caution for their reckless nature.
Society[edit]
Drillburs live deep underground and don't usually diversify in groups of more than five or three, often with an Excadrill as a leader, they stick to the dark underground they are familiar with until they evolve at which point they are driven away by the lead Excadrill. Excadrill on the other hand is a very reclusive pokemon, never being accompanied by other of its kind other than a few Drillburs, they are far more aggressive and bad tempered than there previous evolution.
Drillbur Names[edit]
Drillburs, and therefore Excadrills, follow a simple three letter naming process, communication is usually linked to short barks so the shorter the name, the shorter the warning cry.
Male: Kaï; Ruk; Tex
Female: San; Vee; Ren

A small, swift mole Pokémon that burrows underground.

Speed. You have a base walking speed of 30 feet, and a burrowing speed of 30 feet.
Darkvision. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can't discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.
Ample Digger. Your main line of attacking is ambush from below, as an action you may dig underground for a maximum of 3 turns before needing to resurface.

Sand rush. You have resistance against Poison but a vulnerability against cold damage.
