'''Fearow''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''オニドリル ''' ''Onidrill'') is a dual-type {{2t|Normal|Flying}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Spearow}} starting at [[level]] 20.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Fearow is a large cormorant-like bird with a vulture-like neck. It has a large pointed beak and a red crown like line of spikes upon its head.
====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
They have large, strong beaks, giving them strong attacks such as {{m|Drill Peck}} and {{m|Fury Attack}}. It also can fly very quickly and very elegantly when it senses danger.

===Behavior===
Fearow builds its nest on highly elevated areas; they are commonly seen on the peaks of rock spires near canyons. Very tall trees can make a useful substitute for their nests. They are highly territorial and quick to anger, often attacking those who tread too near to their nests.
===Habitat===
[[Image:Roughterrain.gif|left|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Rough-terrain Pokémon|Rough-terrain Pokémon]]]]
Fearow naturally live in badlands consisting of rough terrain, such as desolate wastelands and fields.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Fearow are vicious predators and swoop down from above, grabbing their prey and taking it to their nests. They generally eat bugs and rodents, as they prefer to avoid any type of plant. Fearow also eat Pokémon food.

==In the anime==
Fearow was first seen in a {{g|Center}} in ''[[EP030|Sparks Fly for Magnemite]]''.

{{Gary}} owns a Fearow, as seen in his profile in ''[[EP259|The Ties That Bind]]''.

In ''[[Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', an unknown {{pkmn|Trainer}} tried to ride a Fearow to {{an|Mewtwo}}'s Island. This trainer never turns up on the island, unlike the others who set out. {{an|Mewtwo}} also uses one to scout for powerful trainers.

The Spearow who Ash attacked in [[EP001|the first episode]] evolved before ''[[EP081|Pallet Party Panic]]''. [[Ash's Pidgeotto]] evolved to {{p|Pidgeot}} to defeat it.

[[Image:Fearow anime.png|250px|thumb|right|A Fearow in the anime]]
A Fearow attacks a Pidgey in ''[[EP164|Carrying On!]]'' and ''[[EP211|Fly Me to the Moon]]'', Pichu in ''[[EP179|The Apple Corp!]]'' and Team Rocket in ''[[EP189|Freeze Frame]]'' and ''[[EP202|The Big Balloon Blow-Up]]''.

Two Fearow appeared under the ownership of {{OBP|Tyson|Team Rocket}} in ''[[EP235|Talkin' 'Bout an Evolution]]'' and ''[[EP236|Rage Of Innocence]]''.

A Fearow also appeared in ''[[AG188|Pinch Healing!]]''.

[[Rico]], the [[Pokémon poacher]], owns a Fearow in ''[[AG006|A Poached Ego!]]''.

[[Paul]] attempted to capture a Fearow in ''[[DP046|A Maze-ing Race!]]'' By the end of the episode, it is unclear whether or not he succeeds.

==In the manga==
[[Rin and Ran|Ran]] has a pair of Fearow she used to attack [[Shū]] in [[Pokémon Get da ze!]]

Ash had a Fearow he caught in the [[Electric Tale of Pikachu]]. It was his first capture, and he gave it the nickname, "Fearless," although it wasn't very obedient towards him.

===In the Pokémon Special manga===
Fearow debuts in the [[Red, Green & Blue chapter (Special)|Red, Green & Blue]] chapter in ''[[PS009|...But Fearow Itself!]]'' when a wild one kidnaps a mutated [[Bill]]. After being stopped by an {{t|Ice}} attack from {{p|Poliwhirl}}, Red catches it. Its most powerful move is {{m|Drill Peck}}.

[[Professor Oak]] also owns a Fearow that evolved from a {{p|Spearow}}.

==In the TCG==

==Trivia==
*In [[Generation IV]], Fearow weighs as much as the {{ga|Lucas|male protagonist}} of the game. It shares this characteristic with {{p|Skuntank}}, {{p|Togekiss}}, {{p|Sudowoodo}}, and {{p|Yanma}}.
*Its sprites from {{3v2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} and {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}} are almost mirror images of each other.
===Origin===
Its appearance may be vaguely based off of the {{wp|cormorant}}, or even more closely to that of an {{wp|anhinga}}.
====Name origin====
Fearow's name is a combination of the words ''fear'' and ''{{wp|sparrow}}''. Its Japanese name can be taken to mean 鬼ドリル, demon drill, although it is worth noting that the first four syllables can be taken to mean 鬼鳥 ''onidori'', demon bird.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Ibitak - From ''{{wp|Ibis}}'' and ''Attacke'' (attack).
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Rapasdepic - From ''rapace'' (predatory) and ''piquer'' (to swoop). Effectively translates as "swooping predator".
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 깨비드릴조 ''Kkaebideuriljo''
* [[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan)]]: 大嘴雀 ''Dài Zűi Qîao'' - Means "big-mouthed sparrow".
* [[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Hong Kong)]]: 魔雀 ''Mó Que'' - Means "monster (or devil) sparrow".
