Tauros (Japanese: ケンタロス Kentarosu) is a Normal-type Pokémon introduced in Generation I. He is thought to be Miltank's male counterpart.

Biology

Physiology

Tauros resembles a bull. He is a tan color, with a brown mane that covers part of his stout body, a slightly chubby belly, somewhat fat haunches, and a hump on his back. Tauros has blue hooves and horns. He also has three long tails. On his head, he has three blue circles from his forehead down to his eyes.

Natural abilities

Tauros can have the ability Intimidate or the ability Anger Point. Intimidate decreases the opponent's Attacks by one level when Tauros is sent out. Anger Point increases Tauros' Attack to the max level when he is hit with a critical hit. He also has a Dream World ability in Sheer Force. He has a violent nature, and charges towards foes rampantly. He wills himself to fight by whipping himself with his tails.

Trivia

• In the Generation III games, Tauros's back sprite portrays its hump as being taller than its mane, despite other games showing the two as being level with each other. This may simply be a design error, or it may be stating that Hoennese Tauros, for whatever reason, have larger humps than Tauros in other regions.

Origin

Tauros is based on a bull. Its humped shoulders and the dots on its forehead may be derived from zebu (cattle with large, fatty humps on their shoulders), considered to be sacred in India, the dots representing bindi marks.

Etymology

Tauros comes from taurus, Latin for "bull."

Kentarosu may come from the Greek Κένταυρος (centaur).
