Aurorus (Japanese: アマルルガ Amaruruga) is a dual-type Rock/Ice Pokémon.

It evolves from Amaura when leveled up at night starting at level 39, after it is revived from a Sail Fossil.

Biology

Aurorus is a quadruped, dinosaurian Pokémon similar to sauropods. It is primarily blue with a lighter underside. There two lines of small ice crystals running the length of its body, one line on each side. These crystals produce freezing air reaching temperature of -240 degrees Fahrenheit. Aurorus uses this ability to create ice walls for protection.

A white, V-shaped mark covers the top of its head with another ice crystal in the center. Two large, flowing sails extend from the top of its head and run down its long neck. The sails are pale whitish-yellow at the base, and fade into a pale bluish-purple at the edges. There are three clawed toes on its hind legs, but one large nail and a single claw on its forelegs. The tip of its long, tapering tail is teardrop-shaped and curls inward.

In the TCG

Aurorus has not yet been featured in the Pokémon Trading Card Game.

Trivia

• No other Pokémon has the same type combination as Aurorus and its pre-evolution.
• Aurorus has the highest base HP of all Rock-type Pokémon.

Origin

Aurorus is based on an Amargasaurus, which were speculated to have possible skin sail extensions on their vertebral spines. It also shares traits with various species of Diplodocoidea. The color changing sails upon its head are also based on auroras, most like aurora borealis due to its partial ice typing. Its ability to freeze its enemies may be a reference to ice giants.

Name origin

Aurorus may be a combination of aurora and Amargasaurus.

Amaruruga is from Amargasaurus.
