-Paras is an {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with an insectoid body|insectoid}} creature resembling the nymph stage of a {{wp|cicada}}, with the unique feature of having mushrooms known as [[tochukaso]] growing from its back which can be removed at any time. They grow from spores that are doused on this Pokémon's back at birth by the mushroom on its parent's back.
+Paras is an orange, insectoid creature resembling the nymph stage of a {{wp|cicada}}. Its ovular body is segmented, and it has six pairs of legs. The foremost pair of legs is the largest and has sharp claws at the tips. There are five specks on its forehead and three teeth on either side of its mouth. It has circular eyes with large pupils.
-They have six legs with the front pair being the largest. They have six dotted specks on their forehead and two teeth on either side of their mouth. Though tochukaso are parasitic in nature, Paras manages to make use of the mushrooms by creating a semi-symbiotic relationship; the mushrooms draw their nutrients from the host Paras's body in order to grow, and Paras is able to use the mushrooms spores along with its own pincers for self-defense. Due to this, Paras may have a longer life span.
+Red-and-yellow mushrooms known as [[tochukaso]] grow on this Pokémon's back. The mushrooms can be removed at any time, and grow from spores that are doused on this Pokémon's back at birth by the mushroom on its mother's back. Tochukaso are parasitic in nature, drawing their nutrients from the host Paras's body in order to grow and exerting some command over the Pokémon's actions. For example, Paras drains nutrients from tree roots due to commands from the mushrooms. The mushrooms are also popular among collectors and have medicinal uses.
-The mushrooms growing out of its back will release irritating spores that can paralyze, poison, or induce sleep in its foes. They are also popular among collectors. It is also very timid as [[EP044|shown in the anime]] when it runs away from a battle with a {{TP|Ash|Charmeleon|Charizard}}.
+Paras can often be found in caves, but can also thrive in damp {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|forests}} with high amounts of humidity where conditions are ideal for fungi. It is also very timid as [[EP044|shown in the anime]] when it runs away from a battle with a {{TP|Ash|Charmeleon|Charizard}}.
-Paras can often be found in caves, since sunlight and dry air hurt their skin. They can also thrive in damp {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|forests}} with high amounts of humidity where conditions are ideal for fungi. It is most commonly found in [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]], but occasionally can be found in [[Sinnoh]] and [[Unova]] as well.
