Pyroar (Japanese: カエンジシ, Hepburn: Kaenjishi) (PIE-roar) is a Fire/Normal Pokémon introduced in Generation VI.

Biology

Physiology

Pyroar is a distinctly lion-like Pokémon. It has a tan-colored face, a blunt leonine muzzle, intense blue eyes, a black triangular nose, and rounded ears. Its large, powerful body is covered in brown and tan-colored fur. It has bulky tan-colored paws and feet with three visible toes on each; when angered or attacking, Pyroar unsheathes its sharp retractable claws. The male Pyroar has a magnificent bushy mane of blazing red and yellow flames encircling his head. The female Pyroar lacks the mane, and instead has a long tuft of red and yellow flaming fur atop her head. Pyroar's fiery mane is very hot to the touch, and glows brightly when it attacks. It has a long, slender brown tail with a bushy tan-colored tip. The male Pyroar's ears are concealed by its large mane, but the female's ears can be seen. 

Shiny Pyroar, regardless of their gender, have much lighter fur colors and their eyes are red instead of blue.

Gender differences

The male Pyroar has a great, fiery red and yellow mane encircling his head, while female Pyroar has a long flare-like tuft of flaming fur of the same color atop her head. The male Pyroar is generally more bulky and muscular in body-shape, while the female is more slender and sleek. 

Behavior

Pyroar are fierce and aggressive Pokémon in the wild. The leader of a pride of Pyroar is always the male with the largest mane of fire. Female Pyroar protect the pride's Litleo cubs. Pyroar are capable of breathing flames of more than 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit, and will viciously threaten any opponent.

Male Pyroars are typically lazy, but will fiercely defend their allies from stronger foes. When hunting for food, Pyroar prefer to eat its prey raw rather than cooking it with a flame breath.

Female Pyroars often do all of the hunting, using teamwork to take down large prey; this tactic ensures the entire pride has enough food for sustenance.

Natural abilities

The large manes of a male Pyroar is able to heat up to temperatures of at least 3,600 degrees Fahrenheit. Just a mere proximity to the male Pyroar will result in the victim receiving severe skin burns.

As mentioned, Pyroar are capable of breathing flames over 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit as a means of self defense.

Evolution

Pyroar can be evolved from Litleo at level 35.

Trivia

• Pyroar and its pre-evolution, Litleo, are the only fire/normal type Pokémon.
  • They are also the only Pokémon to have a gender ratio of one male to seven females.
• Pyroar is one of the few Pokémon whose gender difference reflects real world species dimorphism (manes).
• Pyroar share its species category with Slowking; both are known as the Royal Pokémon.

Origin

Pyroar is based on a lion. The yellow marks on the male's mane resemble a Daimonji (大), a fire lit during Japanese festivals or it could resemble a Kanji for fire (火). Its gender ratio of one male to seven females is based on lion prides, which are usually made up of one male and multiple females. Pyroar's fur design, which are mostly spiked at the limbs and tail, might be inspired by stylized lions shown on heraldry and coat of arms; the male Pyroar's mane also resemble that of escutcheon shields, which bears the design of heraldic lions.

Etymology

Pyroar comes from pyro (Greek for "fire") and roar (the sound big cats (such as lions) make).

Kaenjishi (カエンジシ) is a combination of Kaen (火炎, flame) and shishi (獅子, lion).
