Azure:"Its legs are too short to help it run, so it moves by slithering on its belly. It can now shoot flames from its ears as well as its mouth."Crimson:"The chemicals on this Pokémon's tongue have caused holes in its ears to burn. Its legs have shrunk so they can no longer fully support it."

Physical Description
Vipyre is a bipedal, reptilian Pokémon with a serpentine build. It's body is a dark grey, with a reddish-orange belly, and an orange lower jaw. Its head is ovaline, with blue eyes and a rounded 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. Towards the back of its head are two blazing fires, kept constantly alight by the same chemical that costs its tongue. Its body is long, thin, and slender. It has no arms, but does have two vestigial, digit-less feet where a pair of legs should be. Its tail is long and tapering.

Behaviours
Vipyre, like its pre-evolution, is known for its flame-spitting abilities, caused by the chemical on its tongue that ignites when it reacts to oxygen. When breathing fire from its mouth, the flames on the side of its head may become bigger, forming a hood to ward off enemies and predators. These flames are also caused by the same chemical reaction that allows it to breathe fire. It's vestigial feet can't hold up its body the way a bipedal Pokémon would, so it only uses them to periscope, and moves by slithering on its belly. Like other starter Pokémon, it's prized for its intelligence and rarity. However, it tends to be reclusive and distant from its trainer and the rest of its team.

Although considered a domesticated Pokémon, wild and feral Vipyre have been seen sunning themselves on rocks in the arid areas of the Kulin region. Travellers state that seeing a Vipyre in the wild is a rare occurrence, and as long as you keep you cool, it won't interact with you. Curiously, both wild and domesticated Vipyre 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.
