Emboar

Physical Description

Source

Emboar are heavyset Pokémon, stubby legs, long arms and big hands, not to mention a thick midriff and almost no neck at all, mostly hidden by its flaming "beard" that some use to light their fists on fire in battle. Much of the creature is red or orange with a thick, black band on its stomach and gold detailing on that band. On each of its wrists is a thin red band and on each hand, 3 fingers that look more like claws than anything else. The emboar also have long tusks, a pig snout and red eyes.

History

Emboar are normally hunted for things like their strength, poached and sold off as bodyguards or warriors, but the poachers don't know how right they are. Emboar, while strong, are also fast and intelligent, finding the best time to attack and doing it fast and hard. This has made it hard for poachers to catch them... or anyone for that matter. Emboar hang out in deserts and valleys, just anywhere that they won't burn everything down around them, but sometimes they help out in human settlements, as long as the humans don't try to capture it.

Society

Deep in deserts, caves, and valleys, emboar compete. Emboar with fight each other to see who's stronger, who's bigger, who's faster, even who's smarter. The winner will become the "village champion", in a manner of speaking, and lead the group until they are challenged. Sometimes, other groups of emboar, pignite and tepig with challenge the leader of another and the 2 groups will become one under one leader. The leader, of course, can (and possibly will) simply refuse to fight.

Emboar Names

Many times, emboar will name their children something strong, in the hopes that their tepig will turn out to be strong emboar who will become leaders in the future.

Names: Warrior, Burner, Fighter, Killer, Emboar
