Several of Arbok's {{DL|Arbok (Pokémon)|Pokédex entries}} state that there a number of variations of its face-like hood markings that differ between areas. The [[Generation I]] games state that there are six known patterns, but by the events of [[Generation VII]], the number has increased to twenty. Eight designs are known, but only four have appeared in the games, and only three of which appeared in main series games. In [[Pokémon Adventures]], Arbok gains a special ability depending on its pattern.
Several of Arbok's {{DL|Arbok (Pokémon)|Pokédex entries}} state that there a number of variations of its face-like hood markings that differ between areas. Its {{game|Yellow}} Pokédex entry mentions that there are six known patterns, but by the events of {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, its Ultra Sun Pokédex entry mentions that there are known to be more than 20. Eight designs are known, but only four have appeared in the games, and only three of which appeared in main series games. In [[Pokémon Adventures]], Arbok gains a special ability depending on its pattern.


The most common hood pattern has red, teardrop-shaped eyes outlined in black with yellow, elongated hearts inside, a black mouth, and a black arrow over the eyes, with two red dots near the tip and an upward-extending tail. This design appeared in the Generation I games and all games outside of {{game|Emerald}} from {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} onward, the anime, the manga (except [[Agatha]]'s Arbok in Pokémon Adventures), most TCG art, the FireRed and LeafGreen official art, Dream World art, and anime art. In the Pokémon Adventures manga, this is the "regenerative pattern" and is present on [[Koga]]'s Arbok. These Arbok have a forked tongue and many fangs.
