Honchkrow (Japanese: ドンカラス, HepburnDonkarasu) (HONCH-krow[1]) is a Dark/Flying-Type Pokémon introduced in Generation IV.

Biology[]

Physiology[]

Honchkrow more closely resembles a raven instead of a crow, as compared to its pre-evolution. It is fatter and blackish-blue with red under its wings and at the tip of its tail. Unlike its pre-evolution, its feet are black and it has white markings around its eyes. It also has a white, fluffy feathery object covering its bloated breast. Its hat is also differently shaped and so is its tail, which is longer and has white on it. The shiny is purple.

Behavior[]

One Honchkrow commands a group of Murkrow. If a Murkrow fails to obey it, then it will be punished, and the leading Honchkrow will take flight to hunt down disappointments in order to enforce total loyalty from their henchmen. They rarely leave their nests, and instead "hire" Murkrow henchmen to do their biddings, paying them with shiny objects, which Murkrow hoard compulsively, and food. Their Murkrow cronies collect food and valuables and bring them back to these Honchkrow bosses. Honchkrow will then dole out just enough pay their henchmen and take the rest for themselves.

As they wait for their Murkrow to return, Honchkrow enjoy preening their feathers. When necessary, they can emit a distinctive cry to summon all of their Murkrow to them; over a 100 may respond to a single call. Some call them "Summoners of the Night" because of this. They are extremely territorial, leaving their nests is to defend their domains from other Honchkrow in duels to the death. The Murkrow of losing sides are then subject to the winning Honchrow's whims. Honchkrow will only ever dirty their feathers in order to deal the finishing blow on particularly troublesome enemies.

Evolution[]

Honchkrow is the evolved form of Murkrow, evolving by use of a Dusk Stone.

Trivia[]

  • In Pokémon Battle Revolution, Honchkrow pretends to shoot guns from its wings.
    • When it faints, it falls onto its back and pull its hat down.
  • Unlike its pre-evolution, Honchkrow has no gender differences.

Origin[]

Honchkrow is based on a crow or raven while also having similarities to witches and wizards as its tail resembles a broom and its large white feathers resembles a long beard. Its appearance and behavior could draw inspiration from Prohibition-era Mafia bosses, and could also be a reference to the fact that a group of crows is called a murder. Its head also resembles a fedora, a hat often associated with crime bosses.

Etymology[]

Honchkrow is a portmanteau of honcho (a boss, often used to refer to gang leaders) and crow.

Its Japanese name, Donkarasu, is a portmanteau of don (a title given to Mafia bosses) and 烏 (karasu, crow).
