Fearow (Japanese: オニドリル Onidrill) is a dual-type Normal/Flying Pokémon.

It evolves from Spearow starting at level 20.

Biology

Physiology

Fearow is a large, mostly brown cormorant-like bird with a vulturine neck. It has a large, long, pink pointed beak and a red coxcomb upon its head. It has shaggy feathers on the base of its neck and in a vaguely cape-like pattern between its two huge wings. The cape itself is cream in color, as are the tips of its wings. Its nailed talons are pink, with three toes pointing forward and one pointing backward.

Gender differences

None.

Special abilities

They have large, strong beaks, giving them strong attacks such as Drill Peck and Fury Attack. It also can fly very quickly and very elegantly when it senses danger.

Behavior

Fearow builds its nest on highly elevated areas; they are commonly seen on the peaks of rock spires near canyons. Very tall trees can make a useful substitute for their nests. They are highly territorial and quick to anger, often attacking those who tread too near to their nests.

Habitat

Fearow naturally live in badlands consisting of rough terrain, such as desolate wastelands and fields. Its natural range includes Kanto, Johto and Sinnoh.

Diet

Main article: Pokémon food

Fearow are vicious predators and swoop down from above, grabbing their prey and taking it to their nests. They generally eat bugs and rodents, as they prefer to avoid any type of plant. Fearow have been known to attack Pichu, Rattata, and Pidgey, it is presumed that they may prey on these Pokémon. Fearow also eat Pokémon food.

Trivia

  • In Generation IV, Fearow weighs as much as the male protagonist of the game. It shares this characteristic with Skuntank, Togekiss, Sudowoodo, and Yanma.
  • In Generation III, it was the only Pokémon who could not learn Aerial Ace by leveling up while its pre-evolution could.
  • The English names of the Spearow family and Beedrill are almost reversed from the Japanese in that Beedrill is named Spear and Fearow, Spearow's evolution, is called Onidrill.
  • Fearow's cry is very similar to Cloyster, aside from some differences in pitch and volume.

Origin

Its appearance may be vaguely based off of the cormorant, or even more closely to that of an anhinga, despite being birds of the water. It also shares characteristics with chickens and snipe.

Name origin

Fearow's name is a combination of the words fear and sparrow. Its Japanese name can be taken to mean 鬼ドリル, demon drill, although it is worth noting that the first four syllables can be taken to mean 鬼鳥 onidori, demon bird.

In other languages

  • German: Ibitak - From Ibis and Attacke (attack).
  • French: Rapasdepic - From rapace (predatory) and piquer (to swoop). Effectively translates as "swooping predator".
  • Korean: 깨비드릴조 Kkaebideuriljo
  • Chinese (Taiwan): 大嘴雀 Dài Zűi Qîao - Means "big-mouthed sparrow".
  • Chinese (Hong Kong): 魔雀 Mó Que - Means "monster (or devil) sparrow".
