It has small, red eyes, a three-pointed, dark blue crest on its head, and four white, spiky {{wp|dorsal fin}}s. Gyarados's tail fin is similar in structure to the crest on its head, except with a thin, white fin spread between the points. | ||
The process of evolution causes a change in its brain structure that is believed to cause its violent nature. Gyarados's fangs can crush stones and its scales are harder than steel. Gyarados is feared for its fierce temper and wanton destructive tendencies. It appears in times of conflict and destroys the surrounding area. Its rampages have been known to last a month at a time. Gyarados lives in both {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon|fresh and salty waters}}. Both Gyarados and its Mega form have demonstrated in the anime that it can leap huge distances both [[HS02|from the water]] and [[XY133|from the ground]], usually several times its own body length. However, Gyarados is rarely seen in the wild. | The process of evolution causes a change in its brain structure that is believed to cause its violent nature.
