Biology

Physiology

Kuitaran is a bipedal, anteater-like Pokémon. It has a beige face while the rest of its fur is red with yellow stripes. On its lower abdomen, back, and underside are raised, beige colored bands, leading to its tail. Its claws, on both its feet and hands, are a dull yellow and on its wrists are raised, dented bands; both the wrists and feet are beige-colored. Its tail is dented upward and has a hole in it, similar in appearance to a muffler. It also seems to serve the same purpose as a muffler, being able to expel gases.

Gender differences

Special abilities

Kuitaran can burn Aianto's shells to eat them with its high-temperature tongue.

Trivia

• Kuitaran and Aianto appear to be rivals.
  • Unlike most Pokémon rivalries, Aianto is at a severe disadvantage against Kuitaran since it has a 4× weakness to Kuitaran's type. However, this was probably done to reflect that Anteaters have dominance over, and eat, ants.
• Kuitaran, along with Torkoal, are only non-legendary Template:Type2 that have no evolutionary relatives.
  • Coincidentally, both of them have White Smoke as one of their abilities.

Origin

Kuitaran seems to be based on an anteater, featuring flamethrower components. The metal collars on each hand are similar in appearance to a gun barrel and its tail is similar to a car's muffler.

Name origin

Its name seems to be a combination of the クイ kui "eater" of アリクイ arikui "anteater" and the word "anteater" with the elements reversed.
