It has trouble eating due to its mouth being on top of its head, even though it captures prey by freezing its surroundings. The skin on Arctovish's face is impervious to attacks. It allegedly became extinct despite this due to breathing difficulties, though this is likely not the case due to Arctovish being combined from two separate Pokémon that each had their niches before going extinct.

===Origin===
===Origin===
Arctovish, like its counterparts, may be based on the {{wp|Crystal Palace Dinosaurs}}, a series of misassembled dinosaur sculptures displayed at the {{wp|Crystal Palace Park}}. In the case of Arctovish, its top half appears to be based on the fish ''{{wp|Dunkleosteus}}'' though the frontal pair of fins resemble those possessed by {{wp|Sarcopterygii|lobe-finned fish}} such as {{wp|Coelacanth}}s rather than the fins of Dunkleosteus, while its bottom half appears to be based on an aquatic reptile, like a {{wp|Plesiosauria|plesiosaur}}, {{wp|mosasaur}} or {{wp|ichthyosaur}}. It may have also been inspired by the {{wp|Chimera (mythology)|chimera}} and similar mythological creatures, which was stated to have the features of different animal species, and is often interpreted as being scientifically constructed from different animal parts.
Arctovish, like its counterparts, may be based on the concept of {{wp|Chimera (paleontology)|chimera}} in paleontology, which refers to fossils reconstructed from multiple different species or genus of animals, resulting in an inaccurate and mistaken understanding of the animals's biology. In the case of Arctovish, its top half appears to be based on the fish ''{{wp|Dunkleosteus}}'' though the frontal pair of fins resemble those possessed by {{wp|Sarcopterygii|lobe-finned fish}} such as {{wp|coelacanth}}s rather than the fins of ''Dunkleosteus''. The upper half may also be based on the ''{{wp|Ainiktozoon}}'', an arthropod fossil discovered in Scotland which was reconstructed upside-down. Its bottom half appears to be based on a marine reptile, like a {{wp|Plesiosauria|plesiosaur}}, {{wp|mosasaur}} or {{wp|ichthyosaur}}. Arctovish and its counterparts may also reference the {{wp|Crystal Palace Dinosaurs}}, a series of scientifically inaccurate dinosaur sculptures displayed at the {{wp|Crystal Palace Park}}.


The Pokédex entries for all the Galar Fossils mention them being the cause of their own extinction, which may be a reference to the outdated hypothesis that the dinosaurs were evolutionarily inert, which made them get bigger, sluggish and stupider to the point they couldn't sustain themselves.

Arctovish being unable to [[Pokémon breeding|breed]] could be a reference to {{wp|Hybrid_(biology)|cross-bred}} animals, which are born {{wp|Infertility|infertile}} (unable to produce offspring).
