Girafarig (JP) is a species of Pokémon in the series of the same name. It is a dual-type Normal/Psychic Pokémon that made its first appearance in the second generation games Gold and Silver. It evolves into Farigiraf when it learns Twin Beam starting in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.
Physiology and Behaviour[]
Girafarig is a hooved, quadrupedal Pokémon with a long neck. There is a white blaze on its muzzle, which ends in a round, pink nose. It has two horns with bulbous tips on top of its head. Its front half is yellow with black spots, while its back half is black with yellow spots. Female Girafarig have smaller, darker sections than males. There are many triangular, pink spikes along its back.
Girafarig's tail possesses a head of its own. The tail's head has yellow eyes, a mouth full of sharp teeth, and a small brain. However, this head is incapable of independent thinking and relies on outside stimuli such as smell to guide its actions. If the tail smells something alluring, it will bite. The tail often mimics the head during feeding and is able to warn the Pokémon of danger if it is sleeping. Girafarig lives in savannas and grasslands, where it feeds on the plant life.
