Heatmor

“	It draws in air through its tail, transforms it into fire, and uses it like a tongue. It melts Durant and eats them.	”
—Dexter, Black and White 2 pokedex

Physical Description

By Xous54

Heatmor is a bipedal pokémon resembling a pear-shaped anteater. Its narrow head connects smoothly with its tapered neck, ending with its narrow mouth where it spews flames. It has a multicolored, thin pelt of fur that covers its skin. Its face is brown while the rest of its body is red with yellow stripes, sharing the appearance of molten lava. On its lower abdomen, back, and underside are raised, brown-colored ridges that resemble pipes, leading to its pipe-like tail. Its tail is dented upward and has a hole in it, similar in appearance to a car muffler. It also seems to serve the same purpose as a muffler, being able to expel gases, although it is able to take in air as well. When this is clogged, the heatmor is often ill. Heatmor's claws, on both its feet and hands, are a dull yellow color and on its wrists are brown, raised, dented ridges.

History

The heatmor are pokemon native to the Unova mountains, near the Elite Four. They were pushed out from their original home near the apex following the constructions of humans. Their bodies were evolved from a supposed volcanic cavern that used to lay under the steep hill. It has since gone dormant. In the ensuing cooling, durant came to develop hard shells. Heatmor ate lava and held it in their bodies to consume durant by melting their shells, eventually becoming fiery furnaces themselves.

Society

Most heatmor are solitary hunters, much like actual anteaters. They are known to mate only once a year, when they have a meeting within the caverns of Victory Road. After that, the mother takes the baby and separates from the father. Heatmor babies mature in about only two years, after which they leave their mothers and strike out on their own.

Heatmor Names

Like most pokemon, heatmor don't really use names among themselves that much. Sometimes they do call each other grunting names, accentuated by bursts of flame from their snouts.
