Contents
Biology
Physiology
Corviknight resembles a large, dark blue, armored raven or crow. The "mask" on its face in its previous forms now resembles a helmet, with peaks on the top and extending over its beak. The lower half of its beak is dark gray. The white markings beneath its eyes are now black, but its eyes remain small and red. Its neck is covered in dark blue armor at the back but has thick feathers in front, while its belly and covert feathers are armored. Its upper legs and four-toed talons are also armored, while its lower legs are dark gray.
In its Gigantamax form, its main difference from its previous form is that it is bigger. However, under its wings are red markings. Corviknight is now accompanied by what appears to be 4 red bird-like objects that help it attack. Like all Gigantamax Pokémon, Corviknight also has red clouds above its head.
Behavior
Often being seen fearlessly soaring through the air, Corviknight is regarded as the strongest Pokémon living in the skies of the Galar region. With just a sharp glare and cry from this fearsome Pokémon, any Pokémon which are foolish enough to challenge it are sent cowering in tremendous fear.
Natural Abilities
Corviknight possesses superb flying skills and high intelligence, which can be helpful for transportation purposes.

Sprites
Anime
A Corviknight species debuted in "Legend? Go! Friends? Go!".
Corviknight's first major role is on the web-series Pokémon: Twilight Wings, as one of the two titular recurring characters alongside its trainer, a Taxi Driver.
Trivia
- Corviknight's Pokédex entry in Pokémon Sword mentions that its Gigantamx form can whip up winds stronger than a hurricane. However, not only does Corviknight only learn Hurricane though TR, but its low Sp. Atk of base 53 gives the move very little damage potential.
- Corviknight and Orbeetle both have the shortest Gigantamax forms, only measuring 45 feet 11 inches in height.
- Coincidentally, both of their evolution families are right next to each other in the National Pokédex.
Origin
Corviknight is based on a raven or crow and a knight, most specifically a Black Knight. Its feathers are similar to armor with its head resembling a helmet. It could also be based on the "black bird" sprite that appears in the previous games when the Fly HM is used.
Etymology
Corviknight comes from corvid and knight.
Its Japanese name, Āmāgā, comes from a (raven), armor and gaagaa (Japanese onomatopoeia for a crow squawking).
