Tyroot

Tyroot is a grass-type Pokémon native to the Kulin region. It evolves into Tyrantree starting at level 15, which then evolves into Foresaur starting at Level 31. Alongside Serpyre and Platypump, it is one of three starter available to new trainers at the beginning of Pokémon Azure and Crimson.

Azure:"It scratches and roots its feet in the dirt. It's thought to have roamed far and wide across the world back in the Triassic era."Crimson:"This Pokémon's feet act like roots, taking nutrients from the earth when it's not moving. It's a remarkably fast runner."

Physical Description
Tyroot is a bipedal, dinosaurian Pokémon that resembles a theropod or raptor. It's overall colour is light green, with a yellow underbelly, brown hind legs, and a series of brown blunted spikes running down its spine to the end of its tail. Its head is large compared to the rest of its body, and features big red eyes, a blunted snout with a prominent underbite, and a dark green, fern-like leaf. Its arms are very short, and possess three nubby fingers on each hand. Its legs are stockier and well-developed, with three rooted toes that dig into the ground below it. Its tail is long and thick, and also sports a ferny leaf at its tip.

Behaviours
While this Pokémon is stationary, it roots its feet in the ground by scratching and digging into the earth. It's thought to be one of the many ways Tyroot gains the nutrition to survive. Being a grass-type Pokémon, it can also gain nutrition in the form of photosynthesis, using the leaf-like organs on its head and tail. Like other starter Pokémon, they are known for their intelligence and rarity, but have a reputation of being a bit too playful and boisterous, especially around sensitive Pokémon and Trainers.

Although considered a domesticated Pokémon, wild and feral Tyroot can be seen lurking in the densely forested areas of the Kulin region. However, sightings of wild Tyroot are even rarer than the Pokémon itself, which may have contributed to the popular belief of them being fully domesticated, or just plain extinct. Wild Tyroot tend to be much more primal individuals, with behaviours that stem around survival rather than rough playfulness. Fossil evidence shows that these Pokémon may have dominated the world back in the triassic era, but climate change and other emerging predators resulted in their overall population dwindling to the group found in Kulin.
