Deino (Japanese: モノズ, HepburnMonozu) (DY-noh[1]) is a Dark/Dragon-type Pokémon introduced in Generation V.

Biology[]

Physiology[]

Deino is a small quadrupedal reptilian Pokémon that resembles a dragon with slight dinosaur-like traits. It has a ruff of thick black fur covering its neck and most of its head. As a result of the fur covering its head, Deino cannot see. Beneath the fur it has blue skin. It has four short legs, a round blue body, a small ruffly tail, and a spike-like tuft of fur atop its head. It is possible that the pink marks around its collar are wounds, as Deino will tackle things in order to learn about their surroundings, being blind, and are known to constantly injure themselves as a result of their reckless behavior.

Behavior[]

Deino will bite and eat anything due to their blindness, as a means to examine their surroundings. Most Trainers who own Deino tend to be covered in wounds prior to their Deino warming up to their presences.

Evolution[]

Deino evolves into Zweilous at level 50, and then into Hydreigon at level 64.

Trivia[]

  • This Pokémon and its evolutions are the first Pokémon with the combination of Dark/Dragon.
    • This combination has now been also taken by Guzzlord.
  • Though its hair appears to cover its "eyes", it is said in its descriptions that it in fact has no eyes.
  • Deino is the only Pokémon to have the letters of its English name in alphabetical order.

Origin[]

Deino is based on a young dragon with some traits of a sauropod dinosaur. Its blindness and subterranean habitat may be based on certain cave salamanders whose eyes are degenerate from living in the dark. The long black hair covering its face also resembles an emo hairstyle fringe. The fact that it grows more heads upon evolving may make it based on the Hydra or Yamata no Orochi from Greek and Japanese mythology, respectively.

Etymology[]

Deino may be a combination of dino (short for "dinosaur"), ein (German for "one"), Deinonychus (a dinosaur which existed during the early Cretaceous Period), and possibly deinos (Ancient Greek for "terrible").
