Cyndaquil is a small mammalian Pokémon with bluish fur on top of its body and cream-colored fur on its underside. It has closed eyes, a long snout, short arms, and developed legs with single nails on each foot. Its back contains four red circles that can erupt into flames when it becomes angry or defensive. The fire grows more powerful as it gets agitated. However, if Cyndaquil is tired, the flames are not able to burn properly. It's usually timid and curls up into a ball when intimidated. Though rare in the wild, it can be found on grasslands.
