There is ridged plate like skin going up from its back to its head region. It has solid armor and the legs and tail have a dividing line pattern. Haxorus's arms are quite small and divided into three digits with two oval-shaped triceps and biceps and circular elbows. Haxorus's hands are small and circular with small red claws.

Trivia

• Haxorus has the highest Attack base stat of all non-legendary Dragon-type Pokémon.
• Haxorus, along with Gyrados, are the only two Pokemon that can be caught in the wild that have a single garunteed chance of being shiny through in-game events. Gyrados at the Lake of Rage in the Johto Region and Nature Preserve in the Unova Region respectively.

Origin

Its tusks are similar in appearance to Scutosaurid's or possibly Ceratopsid's cheekbone tusks and are also similar to battle axe blades. Ken Sugimori confirmed that it was based on a plant-eating dinosaur.

Name origin

Haxorus is a combination of hack (to chop or cut down), axe, and σαῦρος saurus (Greek for lizard).

Ononokus may be a combination of 斧 ono (axe), 戦く ononoku (to tremble), and アックス akkusu (axe).
