Tauros (Japanese: ケンタロス Kentauros) is a Normal-type Pokémon.
He is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.
Biology
Physiology
Tauros are quadruped, bovine Pokémon. They are covered in light brown fur, with a thick darker brown mane around the neck. Their nose is also dark brown. They have a pair of curved, gray horns atop their head, and three silver studs on their forehead. Each of their three black tails has a tuft of fur on the end, and there is a single gray hoof on each foot.
Gender differences
Tauros is a male-only species. Many fans consider its female counterpart to be Miltank, despite the fact that Miltank was introduced a generation later. It is speculated that Miltank was created solely to be the "female version" of Tauros. However, Miltank cannot produce Tauros Eggs, unlike Illumise and Nidoran♀, who can produce Eggs of their male counterparts.
Special abilities
Tauros are violent, rowdy Pokémon that are able to whip themselves into a frenzy using their three-pronged tail. They are unable to stop themselves once they charge. However, they can only charge in a straight line. Like most Normal types, Tauros can learn many different types of attacks.
Behavior
Tauros are rowdy Pokémon; once they've started a rampage they will not stop until they hit something. They increase their will to fight by whipping themselves with their three tails. They live and travel in herds with the herd's protector probably leading the others. Tauros are also known to lock horns with each other in battle, and they usually take pride in their battle-scarred horns. When there are no opponents to battle, Tauros will charge at trees to satisfy their need for a challenge and calm themselves.
Habitat
Tauros are rarely found in the wild, but can be found near farming communities in Johto and Sinnoh. They have also been introduced to the Safari Zone, and can be found near the Johto Safari Zone.
Diet
- Main article: Pokémon food
Like other real-life bovines, Tauros graze on grass.

Trivia
- Tauros forms a notable bug in Pokémon Play It!, a game largely based on the Trading Card Game. Once the "Tauros" card appears, either in the player's own deck or that of the digital opponent, the game will shut down or freeze the computer.
- Tauros is believed by some to be the male counterpart of Miltank, but Miltank is incapable of producing Tauros Eggs. However, a Tauros can be the father of a Miltank. It shares this trait with Braviary and Mandibuzz.
Origin
Tauros is based on the constellation Taurus, the Bull. It is also based on a bull or a bison. Its tail is based on a whip, more specifically the cat o' nine tails.
Name origin
Tauros is an abbreviation of its Japanese name, Kentauros. It is worth noting that Taurus, Latin for bull (which comes from the Greek "tauros"), is also the name of a constellation. Tauros could also be a corruption of Toro (Spanish for bull).
Kentauros is derived from Japanese ケンタウロス centaur, which itself derives from Greek Κένταυρος. It could also be a corruption of Centaurus, a large south-sky constellation representing a centaur.
