Fearow (Japanese: オニドリル Onidrill) is a dual-type Normal/Flying Pokémon.
It evolves from Spearow starting at level 20.
Biology
Physiology
Fearow is a large, mostly brown bird Pokémon with a vulturine neck and broad, powerful wings. It has a long, pointed beak that is pink in coloration, and a decorative red coxcomb tops its head. Its intense-looking eyes have very small pupils, and do not appear to have colored irises. It has shaggy feathers on the base of its neck and in a vaguely cape-like pattern covering the upper portion of its wings. The cape itself is cream in color, as are the tips of its flight feathers. Its sharp-clawed talons are pink, with three toes pointing forward and one pointing backward.
Gender differences
None.
Special abilities
Fearow have large, strong beaks, allowing them to use strong attacks such as Drill Peck, Fury Attack and the rarely seen Drill Run, with the latter allowing it to fight off Electric types. Like most avian Pokémon, they can use a wide variety of aerial and wind-based moves. They can also fly very quickly and elegantly when it senses danger. These birds have solid stamina, allowing them to fly for an entire day without rest.
Behavior
Fearow builds its nest on highly elevated areas; they are commonly seen on the peaks of rock spires near canyons. Very tall trees can make useful substitute positions for their nests. They are territorial and quick to anger, often attacking those who tread too near to their nests.
Habitat
Fearow naturally live in badlands consisting of rough terrain, such as desolate wastelands and fields. Its natural range includes Kanto, Johto, Sinnoh and Unova.
Diet
- Main article: Pokémon food
Fearow are vicious predators and swoop down from above, grabbing their prey and taking it to their nests. They generally eat bugs and rodents, as they prefer to avoid any type of plant. As Fearow have been known to attack Pichu, Rattata, and Pidgey, it is presumed that they may prey on these Pokémon. Fearow also eat Pokémon food.

In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga
- Main article: Ash's Fearow
Ash owns a Fearow in the manga The Electric Tale of Pikachu. It is one of the few Pokémon that Ash owns in the manga but not in the anime. It was given the nickname "Fearless" in Play Misty For Me.
Ash captured Fearow in the first chapter, Pikachu, I See You!. It was his first capture (besides Pikachu, who was not technically captured in a Poké Ball in the manga). Ash sometimes has trouble getting Fearow to obey him.
In the Pokémon Adventures manga
Fearow debuts in the Red, Green & Blue arc in ...But Fearow Itself! when a wild one kidnaps a mutated Bill. It was a tough old bird, able to swiftly dodge Pika's Thunder Wave and Poli's Ice Beam (humorously causing Bill to get hit with the attacks), and even survived a Thunder from the former, after which it uses Drill Peck. Poli, however, was narrowly able to counter the move by using Double Team and landed a powerful Ice attack to incapacitate it at last. Red catches it afterwards, much to the shock of Bill.
Professor Oak also owns a Fearow that evolved from his surprisingly formidable Spearow sometime prior to the FireRed & LeafGreen arc.
In the Pokémon Get da ze! manga
Ran has a pair of Fearow she used to attack Shū in Pokémon Get da ze!

Trivia
Origin
Fearow doesn't seem to be directly based on any particular bird species, instead taking inspiration from many soaring, predatory birds. It has traits similar to raptors such as hawks and vultures, as well as similarities with storks. Its physical appearance may be vaguely based on a cormorant or an anhinga, despite the fact that they are water birds. It also shares characteristics with chickens and snipe, most notably its comb and long beak, respectively. Its coloration and size also resembles the Goliath Heron, whose feathers when ruffled look superficially like a cockscomb.
Name origin
Fearow is a combination of fear and sparrow or arrow. It may also derive from feather.
Onidrill is a combination of 鬼 oni (demon) and drill, although it is worth noting that the first four syllables can be taken to mean 鬼鳥 onidori (demon bird).
