Fearow is a large, mostly brown avian Pokémon with a vulturine neck and broad, powerful wings. It has a long, pointed, pink beak and a decorative red coxcomb on top of its head. Its narrow eyes have very small pupils and do not appear to have colored irises. It has shaggy, feathers at the base of its neck and covering the upper portion of its wings. These feathers are cream-colored, as are the tips of its flight feathers. Its sharp-clawed talons are pink, with three toes pointing forward and one pointing backward.
Fearow has been around mostly unchanged for many years, as a Pokémon resembling it has been seen on ancient murals. Its large wings and stamina allow it to fly for an entire day without landing. Its long neck and beak allow it to pluck prey from both land and water, and it has even been known to steal from unwary humans. It will shoot upward, and then dive down to catch prey. It will also catch tiny insects that hide underground and circle the ocean for fish. Fearow are found naturally in open habitats with warmer climates, mainly wastelands and desolate fields.
In SS009, Kurio used a Fearow alongside Kurio's Cyndaquil to create a fake Ho-Oh for his grandfather Jiei. However, their ruse was exposed when Pikachu attacked it with Thunderbolt.
In SS015, a Fearow directed Ash and Goh to a lake where a trio of Mankey had accidentally dropped a Cubone's bone in.
In Mewtwo Strikes Back, a Trainer tried to use a Fearow to travel to New Island, but ultimately never arrived there, unlike the others who had set out. Mewtwo also used a Fearow to scout for powerful Trainers. Mewtwo's Fearow served the same role in Mewtwo Strikes Back—Evolution, the film's remake.
Fearow, the Beak Pokémon. The evolved form of Spearow. Its large, powerful wings allow it to fly for an entire day. The crushing power of its beak is tremendous.
Fearow debuted in ...But Fearow Itself!, when a wild one kidnaps a mutated Bill. It was a tough old bird, able to swiftly dodge Pika's Thunder Wave and Poli's Ice Beam (humorously causing Bill to get hit with the attacks), and even survived a Thunder from the former, after which it uses Drill Peck. Poli, however, was narrowly able to counter the move by using Double Team and landed a powerful Ice attack to incapacitate it at last. Red catches it afterwards, much to the shock of Bill.
In The Coming of Slowpoke (Eventually), the Pokémon Fan Club President owns a Fearow after watching the Ninth Triennial Indigo League two years ago. It is notable that it has the move Pay Day.

The English names of the Spearow evolutionary family and Beedrill are almost reversed from the Japanese in that Beedrill is named Spear and Fearow, Spearow's evolved form, is called Onidrill.
Fearow is the only Pokémon with a base stat total of 442.
Origin
Fearow takes inspiration from many soaring, predatory birds. It has traits similar to raptors such as hawks and vultures, as well as similarities with storks. Its physical appearance may be vaguely based on a cormorant or an anhinga, despite the fact that they are water birds. It also shares characteristics with chickens and snipe, most notably its comb and long beak, respectively. Its coloration and size also resembles the Goliath heron, whose feathers when ruffled look superficially like a comb.
Name origin
Fearow is a combination of fear and sparrow. It may also derive from feather or arrow.
Onidrill is a combination of 鬼 oni (demon) and drill. The first four syllables can be taken to mean 鬼鳥 onidori (demon bird).
