|desc=The only known information about this creature is its name and fanart drawn from memory based on its appearance in the Pokémon Gold and Silver demo that was playable at Spaceworld 1997. In the demo, it knew the moves {{m|Growl}}, {{m|Water Gun}}, and {{m|Tackle}}. It was the {{type|Water}} starter Pokémon.

This early sprite of Girafarig from 1997 shows the original design featured two full-sized giraffe heads.
