'''Magcargo''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''マグカルゴ''' ''Magcargot'') is a dual-type {{2t|Fire|Rock}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation II]].

==Biology==
==Biology==
Magcargo is a limbless, snail-like Pokémon consisting almost entirely of bright red {{wp|magma}}. Its oval eyes are large and yellow with small pupils, and extend upward from its head. It has a bulbous snout and a wide mouth, with two drops of magma dangling from each side of its upper jaw. Magcargo's back is protected by a gray, spherical shell composed of hardened, but brittle magma, forming irregular lumps and plates. A streak of fire leaks from the side of its shell. Magcargo's lower body is amorphous and covered in bubbles of magma.
Magcargo is a limbless, {{wp|gastropod}} {{wp|mollusk}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} consisting almost entirely of bright red {{wp|magma}}. Its oval eyes are large and yellow with small pupils and extend upward from its head. It has a bulbous snout and a wide mouth, with two drops of magma dangling from each side of its upper jaw. Magcargo's back is protected by a gray, spherical shell composed of hardened, but brittle magma, forming irregular lumps and plates. Marcargo can store fire energy in its shell. A streak of fire leaks from the side of its shell. Magcargo's lower body is amorphous and covered in bubbles of magma.


Magcargo's internal body temperature can reach over {{tt|18,000 degrees Fahrenheit|10,000 degrees Celsius}}, causing it to evaporate water on contact. Flames circulate throughout its body, occasionally spouting through cracks in its shell. While its shell is brittle enough to be shattered with a slight touch, Magcargo can reform its body by dipping itself in magma. It can be found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon|mountainous regions}}, and has been living in volcano craters for tens of thousands of years.

According to one folklore, when the wild Marcargo population suddenly increases, it's a sign that a volcano eruption is coming.

Magcargo (Japanese: マグカルゴ Magcargot) is a dual-type Fire/Rock Pokémon introduced in Generation II.

It evolves from Slugma starting at level 38.

Biology

Magcargo is a limbless, gastropod mollusk Pokémon consisting almost entirely of bright red magma. Its oval eyes are large and yellow with small pupils and extend upward from its head. It has a bulbous snout and a wide mouth, with two drops of magma dangling from each side of its upper jaw. Magcargo's back is protected by a gray, spherical shell composed of hardened, but brittle magma, forming irregular lumps and plates. Marcargo can store fire energy in its shell. A streak of fire leaks from the side of its shell. Magcargo's lower body is amorphous and covered in bubbles of magma.

Magcargo's internal body temperature can reach over 18,000 °F (10,000 °C), causing it to evaporate water on contact. Flames circulate throughout its body, occasionally spouting through cracks in its shell. While its shell is brittle enough to be shattered with a slight touch, Magcargo can reform its body by dipping itself in magma. It can be found in mountainous regions and has been living in volcano craters for tens of thousands of years. According to one folklore, when the wild Marcargo population suddenly increases, it's a sign that a volcano eruption is coming.

Evolution

Magcargo evolves from Slugma.

Trivia

Origin

Magcargo appears to be based on a snail, likely Victaphanta atramentaria or Platymma tweediei, with a body of lava and a shell of rock. It may also be based on the Cherufe, mythical evil creatures of rock and magma that inhabit the magma pools found deep within Chilean volcanoes. In legends, they are the main sources of earthquakes in Chile.

Name origin

Magcargo and Magcargot may be a combination of magma, escargot (French for snail), and cargo.
