Haxorus is a bipedal Pokémon with a darkish yellow-green color covering its back and most of the front, black skin covering its torso, tail tip, and thighs, as well as red talons and claws. It has large black and red scythe like tusks coming out of its upper jaw on the side of its mouth. Haxorus has medium sized eyes with red irises and black pupils. There is ridged plate like skin going up from its back to its head region. It has solid armor and the legs and tail have a dividing line pattern. Haxorus's arms are quite small and divided into three digits with two oval-shaped triceps and biceps and circular elbows. Haxorus's hands are small and circular with small red claws. Its legs are formidable and strong with three toed feet with a red talon on each toe.

Trivia

  • Haxorus has the highest Attack base stat of all non-legendary Dragon-type Pokémon.

Origin

Its tusks are similar in appearance to Scutosaurid's or possibly Ceratopsid's cheekbone tusks and are also similar to battle axe blades. Ken Sugimori confirmed that it was based on a plant-eating dinosaur.

Name origin

Haxorus is a combination of hack (to chop or cut down), axe, and σαῦρος saurus (Greek for lizard).

Ononokus may be a combination of 斧 ono (axe), 戦く ononoku (to tremble), and アックス akkusu (axe).
