(Japanese: クリムガン Crimgan) is a Template:Type2 Pokémon introduced in Generation V.

It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

Biology

Physiology

Crimgan is a large, blue, hunchbacked, reptilian creature with medium-sized wings shaped like thistle leaves. It has a set of glaring, ferocious irises. Its arms are longer than its legs, giving it a low-slung, sloping gait. It has a thick, medium-length tail and sharp claws on both the hands and feet. Its head is colored bright red, and has several blunt horns and spikes jutting out everywhere. It also has tall, conical spikes—similarly colored red; three on each arm, one on each shoulder, two on each leg, and four on its tail. It has a blunt, brutal snout, bearing a maw with no discernible teeth; instead, small fang-like protrusions sprout from its jaws. Its eyes are pale yellow. It has a series of olive-colored, football-shaped scutes running across its belly.

Gender differences

None.

Special abilities

Crimigan's bright red head is very hard, being harder than rock. It can take in sunlight with its wings; if its body temperature lowers, it becomes immobile.

Behavior

Crimigan nimbly chases prey around its den, using its outstretched claws to catch them. It warms its body by taking in sunlight with its wings.

Diet

Crimgan are carnivorous.

Trivia

• Crimgan is the only non-legendary Dragon-type Pokémon that is not related to any other Pokémon by evolution.
  • It is the only pure Dragon-type Pokémon not involved in evolution.
• Crimgan has the lowest base stat total, Special Attack and Speed of all fully evolved Dragon-type Pokémon.
• Despite Crimgan's Pokédex entry stating that the skin on its face is harder than a rock, it cannot have Rock Head as an ability.
• Crimgan is the only non shark-based Pokémon that can have Rough Skin, despite the Japanese name of the ability being Sharkskin.
• Crimgan is the only Pokémon that can learn Glare that is not based on a snake.
• Crimgan is in the red Color Dex despite being prodominately blue.
  • Its Japanese name does mean 'red face' though.

Origin

Given Crimgan's grotesque features and the rock-like qualities stated in its Pokédex entries, it seems to be based on a gargoyle. Its natural appearance also seems to resemble a European dragon.

Name origin

Its name is likely derived from クリムゾン crimson and 顔 gan, face.
