Darumaka is a crimson Pokémon with a spherical body, short limbs and legs, and a stubby tail. It has an orange face and yellow brows that are curling. It has three yellow ovals on its belly and a curved yellow line on its back. It has orange hands and feet with three digits each.
Darumaka carries a flame throughout its body. Darumaka is particularly active when this flame is blazing. In this situation, it cannot settle down and consequently becomes uncontrolled. The flame falls asleep as it shrinks; at rest, its internal temperature is about 1,100 °F (600 °C). When it sleeps, it tucks its arms and legs in and sways gently. It cannot be turned over when sleeping, no matter how hard it is pushed or tugged, much like a tumbler doll, which it resembles in this form. Darumaka is a well-known emblem of good fortune. It is also known to contain highly warm droppings, which ancient humans used to keep themselves warm by putting them in their garments. It likes to dwell in a desert setting.
Galarian Darumaka has a thicker snow-white coat than Unovan Darumaka. Its brows are replaced with a pair of turquoise ice crystals. Instead of oval-shaped marks, a pair of diamond-shaped ice crystals act as buttons on its breast. It has a blue face, hands, and feet rather than orange. Galarian Darumaka, unlike its Unovan cousin, wears a timid frown rather than a playful grin.
Long ago, a seismic upheaval in the Galar area forced the warm environment to cool, and the Darumaka in this region adapted to this cooling. The fire that burned inside their bodies died, leaving only an organ that creates frigid air. Galarian Darumaka grows more lively as the temperature drops. They can concentrate their internal energy to expel cold air in the shape of snow, which they utilize as ammunition in joyful snowball battles with each other. [1] Galarian Darumaka adores eating Snover’s Berries. This causes it to hunt on Snover, frequently driving it away by Abomasnow.
