Felt like making some more variants! C:


It’s something of a half-truth that a charmander will die if its fire goes out. A charmander is born with no flame upon its tail; shortly after hatching, its parent will blow fire onto its tail which produces a fatty oil from glands near the tip of the tail to keep this fire going. It is thought that the activation of these glands encourages the healthy function of a charmander’s lymphatic system, for charmanders that have lost the light on their tail for any period of time become highly susceptible to illness. The oil charmanders produce is thought to have health benefits, though it is difficult to collect and horrible in taste.

The Brushfire charmander

Brushfire charmanders are well known for their beautiful, fire-resistant plumage– which can appear to ignite when a brushfire charmander is upset or angered, producing its flammable oil along the entire ridge of its spine rather than just the end of its tail. Native to Hoenn and Johto, these charmanders prefer open plains and grasslands, where their long legs glide over the grass.

The Bearded charmander

Bearded charmanders are generally very docile creatures of the mountains. They are named for the folded, scaly beard under their chin which flares when they are distressed, showing the dark skin underneath. These charmanders are native to Sinnoh and are considered wonderful pets by locals.

The Spiny charmander

Spiny charmanders are known for their spiked tail which is capable of inflicting grievous damage when swiped at an enemy. These charmanders are native to Alola, and prefer a lazy life of basking on warm rocks and scavenging for their meals.
