Description: A green and black anthropod, with eight, wing-like fins, Anorith was an ocean dwelling Pokémon from prehistoric times. Its fins are white and red, and it has a pair of red markings on top its head. Anorith has large eyes at the end of stalks protruding from either side of its face. It also has a large pair of segmented claws used for fighting and eating. Although scientists can recreate Anorith from Claw Fossils, they can no longer live in oceans today because the water is so vastly different from their time.
