Fearow is a large avian Pokémon with a vulturine neck and broad, powerful wings. It has a long, pointed, pink beak and a decorative red coxcomb on top of its head. Its narrow eyes have very small pupils and do not appear to have colored irises. Fearow has been around mostly unchanged for many years, as evidenced by ancient murals depicting Pokémon resembling it. Its large wings and stamina allow it to fly for an entire day without landing. Fearow's long neck and beak are ideal for catching prey in soil or water, and it has even been known to steal from unwary humans. It will shoot upward, then dive down to catch prey, and can catch tiny insects that hide underground. Fearow are found naturally in open habitats with warmer climates, mainly wastelands and desolate fields.
