Magmar (Japanese: ブーバー Boober) is a Fire-type Pokémon.

Biology

Physiology

Magmar is a Pokémon with a human-like stance that has traits of a duck and a mythical salamander. Magmar has a red body with a yellow flame design on it. It has a yellow tail that has a flame on it. Magmar has yellow thighs, black legs and red feet with two toes each. Magmar's arms are covered in red, rigid scales and it has red hands with five fingers. Magmar has a row of red spikes running down its back. Magmar has two lumps on its forehead with a flame on top each one and a yellow beak.

Due to Magmar's tail-flame and partial-reptilian appearance, it has been considered to be a distant cousin of the Charmander-line.
