Biology[]
Nidorino is a light-purple, quadrupedal Pokémon. It has several darker purple patches across its body. It has large, spiny ears with teal insides, narrow black eyes, and a long snout with two pointed teeth protruding from the upper jaw. Nidorino has a ridge of toxic spines on its back and a long, pointed horn on its forehead. The horn is harder than a diamond and capable of secreting poison on impact. Its short legs have three claws on each foot. Nidorino is a male-only species.
Nidorino is independent, nervous, and fierce; and it is often described as violent and easily angered. It uses its ears to check its surroundings. If it senses a hostile presence, all the barbs on its back bristle up at once, and it challenges the foe with all its might. Nidorino's horn is as hard as diamond, allowing it to easily destroy boulders. It uses that horn to look for Moon Stones. The level of adrenaline Nirdorino has can determine how strong its poison will be. Nidorino live in hot savannas and plains.
