Pokédex Entry: It hides itself in the sand awaiting for unexpected travelers to step on it. It is called the "devil of the desert." In some regions, they are kept as pets.
A small lizard no larger than a person's forearm, Thorlock brown-yellow creatures with a sturdy appearance and stature. They have four regular looking limbs and walk on all of them. Each is tipped with small claws that aren't good for much more than digging through soft sand. Its lighter colored belly extends all the way to the tip of its tail. The most iconic part of Thorlock is the number of spikes and rough protrusions it possesses. Truly, its back and head are covered in spiky scales that point up foreboding. Beyond that, Thorlock is rather unimpressive.
Etymology: Thorlock is a combination of the words thorn and moloch.
Gender Differences: None.
Special Abilities: Thorlock is covered in hard, rather sharp spines that dissuade attacks by predators by making it difficult to swallow.
Behavior: Thorlock use a wide variety of means to avoid predation. Their coloration generally serves as camouflage. When threatened, their first defense is to remain still to avoid detection. If approached too closely, they generally run in short bursts and stop abruptly to confuse the predator's visual acuity. If this fails, they puff up their bodies to cause them to appear more horned and larger, so that they are more difficult to swallow. This lizard's unusual gait involves freezing and rocking as it moves about slowly in search of food, water, and mates.
Habitat: Thorlock usually lives in the arid scrub land and desert that covers most of the central Australia Region. it also inhabits the northern hemisphere's deserts and hill lands in the Texas area of the Unova Region.
Diet: The diets of Thorlock mainly consists of ants and they often eat thousands of ants in one day. They collect moisture in the dry desert by the condensation of dew on their bodies at night. This dew forms on its skin, and then it is channelled to its mouth in hygroscopic grooves between its spines. During rainfalls, capillary action allows Thorlock to suck in water from all over its body.
