Its bite injects a potent poison, enough to paralyze large bird Pokémon that try to prey on it.

It discovers what is going on around it by using the feelers on its head and tail. It is brutally aggressive.

Using the feelers on its head and tail, it picks up vibrations in the air to determine its prey’s location and state.
