Magmortar is a large, vaguely humanoid, red-and-yellow-striped Pokémon with an egg-shaped body. It has pink lips on its dark face. It has yellow, tubular arms with three small claws on each "hand". When Magmortar prepares to shoot fire from its hands, the claws may disappear into its skin, forming something similar to a cannon. It blasts fireballs of over 3,600 °F (2,000 °C). Its legs are small in proportion to its body with pink thighs, red feet, and black shackles around the ankles. It has one large flame on its head, as well as large flames on its shoulders and tail. Additionally, it has four pink spikes on its back.
Magmortar, the Blast Pokémon and the evolved form of Magmar. It launches fireballs that can reach temperatures over three-thousand six-hundred degrees from the ends of its arms and lives in volcanic craters.
Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia Magmortar is used by Lavana to protect the red circuit ball. Ice later borrows it to use in a three-way boss battle with Ice's Gallade and Heath's Rhyperior in the trio's efforts to thwart the player.
Magmortar seems to be a buffed-up version of its pre-evolution's inspiration, the karura. It also has features of a duck or booby with a mythical salamander.
Name origin
Magmortar may be a combination of magma and mortar (referring to how it shoots fireballs from its cannon-like arms).
