Physical Description
Serpyre is a bipedal, reptilian Pokémon with a serpentine build. It's body is a bright reddish-orange, with an orange belly, a single black stripe that runs from its forehead to the tip of its tail, and yellow spots on each cheek. Its head is round, with big blue eyes and a short snout. There is a small gap in between its top and bottom jaw towards the front of its snout for its black forked tongue to poke through. Its body is somewhat slender, but becomes thicker towards its base. It has no arms, but does have two stumpy legs with digit-less feet. Its tail curves upwards slightly.

Behaviours
Serpyre is known for its flame-spitting abilities, caused by a chemical that coats its tongue. When this Pokémon taste the air for threats with its tongue, it may spit a little fire into the air, causing wildfires to pop up on occasion. Its stumpy legs can carry is for about 100 meters, but if it needs to get somewhere fast, it'll slither on the ground and tuck its legs tightly against its body. Like other starter Pokémon, it is prized for its intelligence and rarity. However, its surprisingly gentle for a fire-type Pokémon, and very inquisitive.

Although considered a domesticated Pokémon, wild and feral Serpyre have been seen sunning themselves on rocks in the arid areas of the Kulin region. Travellers state that as scary as they may look, wild Serpyre are 'usually more scared of you than you are of it'. Curiously, both wild and domesticated Serpyre have a strange affinity to flute music, and can be lulled into a state of calm if it hears one. Street performers and magicians take to this Pokémon and may incorporate it into their magic routines.
