Heatmor is a bipedal, anteater-like Pokémon. It has a beige face while the rest of its fur is red with yellow stripes sharing appearance of molten lava. On its lower abdomen, back, and underside are raised, beige colored bands which resemble pipes, leading to its tail. Its claws, on both its feet and hands, are a dull yellow and on its wrists are raised, dented bands; both the wrists and feet are beige-colored. Its tail is dented upward and has a hole in it, similar in appearance to a muffler. It also seems to serve the same purpose as a muffler, being able to expel gases.

Trivia

• Heatmor being the natural predator of Durant is reflected in their types.

Origin

Heatmor seems to be based on an anteater with elements of flamethrowers and ironworks. Its wrists resemble air filter intake inlets and its tail is similar to an engine's muffler.

Name origin

Heatmor may be a combination of heat and armor (referring to the armored appearance of its fur) or mortar (referring to its type and barrel-like arms). It may also be a play on eat more, as in to "eat more ants."

Kuitaran may be a combination of アリクイ arikui (anteater) and anteater, specifically the an and tar. It may also derive from the reverse of نار nār (Arabic for fire).

In other languages

Language Title Meaning Japanese クイタラン Kuitaran From クイ kui, part of アリクイ arikui, possibly incorporating reversed parts of the English word anteater French Aflamanoir From affamé, flamme, and tamanoir Spanish Heatmor Same as English name German Furnifraß From furnace and Fraß Italian Heatmor Same as English name Korean 앤티골 Aentigol Mandarin Chinese 食蟻爐 / 食蚁炉 Shíyǐlú From 食蟻獸 shíyǐshòu and 爐 lú Cantonese Chinese
