Excadrill report

Description

Excadrill, the Subterrene Pokemon

Excadrill is an underground predator that lives in almost whole region Unova,
but it shows itself at the surface so rarely, because usually it digs
90-60 m under the ground.

However it's sometimes meet by people in Victory Road, Challenger's Cave and Chasm Cave.

General anatomy of Excadrill is considerably differrent from moles that we know
- arms are not that reduced as European mole has, it's bipedal,
has developed eyes well, and his body is more barrel - shape with "hump" on nape.

This "hump" does the similar function like the camel's hump
and covers "helmet" additionally(because near 1/3 part is in it)
Because the steel "helmet" is not connected with skeleton directly,
there is no risk that the skull will becomes damaged or the spine in result of shocks.

"helmet" and claws are perfectly fitting in shape to itselfs and Excadrill can create
from it's body a powerful living drill, which is able to dig throught even steel.

The level of specializing this Pokemon and its need for extensive territory
is a horrible problem for people since they started exploring underground,
and particularly building subways.
Excadrill may do huge damages, sometimes paralysing the movement of metre.

Drilbur and Excadrill are specific moles, completely different than so far well-known
Diglett and Dugtrio(which they are still not known well; possible they aren't even moles!)

These last ones are one of the most secretive and timid Pokemons;
moles of Unova are totally different. They did not severed off with life at the surface
entirely and they almost do not run away (Excadrills are even very aggressive!).

Not without reasons Drilbur is represented in pictures with claws at top
-it has a habit of putting out claws when it feels menaced.

Excadrill even attacks without warning - his red spots on body make
excessively attention for permssiont on waiting for intruder's move on his territory.

These pokemons are loners(with except of rutting time)-when two ones come across
they became highly aggressive and furious ruthlessly(and because they are unique
together with Steelix steel/ground types, they are weak to one from own STABed attacks
- ground; probably every confrontation ends with death of one of rivals)

After rutting time females wander to west, to give birth 2-4 youngs away from
aggressive males.

Both males, as females need enough considerable territory,
which they tie so much.
It's a big problem, when people began building metre
Excadrill is difficult enemy to defeat, and after driving off from territory
it comes back on one's terrain.
The effectiveness of traps on him and deterrent resources is practically scarce.
if not lovers' group moles, which managed to train Drillburs and Excadrills, this species should be sentenced on ruthless and continuous extermination.
Obstinacy and these moles' skills can be used to digging / building tunnels - it can pierce even steel and their small size gives large field to manoeuvre that is lack for machines.

Coming back to anatomy - Excadrill and drilbur have not reduced eyes, and Excadrill has developed ears secondarily.
These feathures testify about secondary adaptation to life at the surface.
