Larvesta is a fuzzy, moth larva-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It has blue eyes in a shadowed face. Its white mane of fuzz encompasses its head and the upper half of its body, while its lower half is brown. It has three pairs of small black legs. There are five red, slightly whorled horns on the sides of its head.

Its white mane of fuzz encompasses its head and the upper half of its body, while its lower half is brown. It has three pairs of small black legs. There are five red, slightly whorled horns on the sides of its head.


Larvesta can shoot fire from its five horns as a defensive tactic to intimidate predators or to scare prey. [[BW041|It has been seen]] using the fire that it shoots from these horns to fly. Larvesta's flames can reach up to almost {{tt|5,500 degrees Fahrenheit|3,000 degrees Celsius}} in temperature. It lives at the feet of volcanoes, though people of ancient times once believed that Larvesta nested on and fell from the sun; some people still say that it was born from the sun. When it evolves into Volcarona, its body becomes enveloped in flames, akin to a cocoon.  
Larvesta can shoot fire from its five horns as a defensive tactic to intimidate predators or to scare prey. [[BW041|It has been seen]] using the fire that it shoots from these horns to fly. Larvesta's flames can reach up to almost {{tt|5,500 degrees Fahrenheit|3,000 degrees Celsius}} in temperature. The horns' flames can cut through even sheets of iron. It lives at the feet of volcanoes, though people of ancient times once believed that Larvesta nested on and fell from the sun; some people still say that it was born from the sun. In ancient times, it was known as the '' Larva That Stole the Sun'' and ''emissary of the sun''. Despite this, Larvesta is considered a burden due to it causing constant forest fires. When it evolves into {{p|Volcarona}}, its body becomes enveloped in flames, akin to a cocoon.

* Larvesta's eyelids have been portrayed inconsistently throughout the series. In the anime, Larvesta's eyelids have a circular outline where their eye would be, something that is not present in any games. Mainline Pokémon games show Larvesta with black eyelids, while their portrait in [[Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon]] instead features white eyelids.

===Origin===
===Origin===
Larvesta may be based on a {{wp|moth}} — likely an {{wp|Attacus atlas|Atlas moth}} larva or a {{wp|Halysidota harrisii|Sycamore Tussock moth}} larva — and the {{wp|Tower of the Sun}}, a famed Japanese monument. The way its red growths are shaped and positioned on its circular body may be a reference to the sun or to the ''{{wp|Gozan no Okuribi|Daimonji}}''. It may also be based on a {{wp|torch}} or cigarette.
Larvesta is based on a {{wp|moth}} {{wp|larva}}<ref name=ND204>''Nintendo Dream'' Vol. 204, April 2011 ([https://web.archive.org/web/20110704155314/http://shellspider.blog101.fc2.com/blog-entry-502.html Shellspider's blog (Japanese)], [http://lavacutcontent.com/ken-sugimori-nintendo-dream-2/ Translation by Dr. Lava])</ref> — likely the larvae of the {{wp|Attacus atlas|Atlas moth}} or the {{wp|Halysidota harrisii|Sycamore Tussock moth}}. Its appearance, especially the red growths around its body, also references the {{wp|Tower of the Sun}}, a famed Japanese monument.<ref name=ND204 /> The red growths may also reference sun rays or the ''{{wp|Gozan no Okuribi|Daimonji}}'', while its overall body shape may also be based on a {{wp|torch}} or cigar.
