Description: A small, bipedal Pokémon, Magby is mostly red, save for a yellow belly and a yellow beak. It has lumps on its head, a single spide on its back, and a black cuff around its collar. Its arms end with three claws each and it has two claws on each foot. Magby's breath can reach 1,100° F and embers are constantly falling from its mouth. When excited or scared, flames leak from its mouth and when it gets sick, flames will leak from its nose. The color of Magby's flames are a good indicator of its health. Much like Magmar, Magby rest in lava to rejuvenate.
