*Magmortar's DP sprite shows Magmortar not having a cannon located on either of its arms, having claws instead. In the Platinum sprite, it has claws on only its right arm. This could possibly indicate that Magmortar can retract and protract the claws at will, forming a cannon when needed.
Magmortar is the evolved form of Magmar. It looks like a buffed up humanoid creature with characteristics of a duck and salamander.
Its legs are similar to Magmar's except that Magmortar has pink thighs and its legs are smaller in proportion to its body then Magmar's, whose legs are in proportion to its own body (which is why Magmortar moves slower than Magmar). Instead of a beak and two flame-like horns it had as a Magmar, Magmortar has pink lips and one singular flame on its head. Its other notable features are the two rows of pink spikes running down its back, red and yellow flame stripes on its body and a tail that is entirely covered in flames.
Magmortar also has orange shoulder pads that resemble flames and yellow, tubular arms with a black band and three claws on each one. When Magmortar prepares to attack with hands, the claws may disappear into its skin, forming something similar to a cannon.
Gender differences
None.
Special abilities
Magmortar can use any attack its pre-evolutions do, but obviously stronger. Magmortar can also use Thunderbolt, Earthquake, SolarBeam, and Rock Slide, which can help it to defeat Pokémon which it is weak to.
Behavior
Habitat
Magmortar live in the deep, boiling-hot craters of volcanoes.

Origin
Magmortar seems to be a buffed-up combination of a duck or booby with a mythical salamander of fire. Its overall appearance seems similar to a torch used by the Olmec or Aztec people.
Name origin
Magmortar comes from magma and mortar, probably referring to how it shoots fireballs from its cannon-like arms. Booburn is based on the names of its pre-evolutions and the words booby and burn.
