Biology
Axew is a bipedal grayish-green Pokémon with tusks that protrude from the sides of its mouth. If these tusks are damaged, they may recover and regrow. This constant renewal fortifies and sharpens its tusks. The tusks are used for a variety of reasons, including cutting territorial gashes in trees and smashing Berries for consumption. It has a large, somewhat curved horn on the back of its head, which is dark grayish-green. Its crimson eyes are surrounded by big, dark grayish-green ovals, and it has a short, rounded snout with wide nostrils. Its neck is encircled with a forest green collar marking. Axew’s limbs and tail are short, with three digits on its forelimbs and two digits on its feet. Axew is good at climbing walls and trees, as depicted in the anime.
