-->--> Level 32 --> Level up while holding a Magmarizer Aron/Lairon/Aggron Steel/Fire Description of coloring/sighting ~ N/A (Sprites are above) Reason for appearance ~ Evidence of this Aron variant’s existence initially came in the form of sightings by trainers venturing in and around the Kasabian Volcano, though recently, similar reports have come in from other areas of Faraday Island, implying some of these Pokemon may have begun immigrating to new habitats within the last few months. It is known that, some time ago, Kasabian Volcano witnessed a notable uptick in the populations of multiple Rock and Steel-type species, with the Aron family being most prominent. Though some of these species struggled to compete in the local environment (particularly in the case of the Steel-types, who often struggled against the native Fire-types), some were nonetheless able to find their niche, feeding upon the ores and minerals deep within the cave system beneath the volcano. As time passed, however, competition grew fiercer as ore veins began to run dry. To compensate for this, a small subset of the Aron family population that struggled to secure the iron needed to maintain their bodies began supplementing their diets with molten magnetite sourced from the volcano itself. Over multiple generations, this subset’s consumption of molten magnetite has increased to the point of becoming a staple of their diets, which has visibly altered their biology to a respectable degree. The consumption of black oxide has caused much of their bodies to take on a bluish tinge, which increases their resistance to rust and corrosion, while their internal body temperatures have increased dramatically. Evidence of the latter can best be seen by their chests, which are now primarily made up of a magma-filled core which is visible while standing upright. Though unconfirmed, it is speculated that this magma, though visible to outside observers, is prevented from escaping these Pokemon’s bodies via a thick layer of heat-proof glass, though how and why this specific anatomical quirk could have developed is unknown. These Pokemon have also been observed heating their digits to the point of glowing, which is thought to be an adaptation that allows them to fight off Steel-type competitors via the application of intense heat. |
