Mandibuzz (Japanese: バルジーナ Vulgina) is a dual-type Dark/Flying Pokémon.

She evolves from Vullaby starting at level 54.

Biology

Physiology

Mandibuzz are vulture-like Pokémon, particularly resembling turkey vultures. She has a bare, pink, hunched head and neck, along with a notched black beak and eyes, apparently possessing eyelashes, that have red irises. A long brown tuft with a bone in the middle extends from the back of her head like an archetypal tribal ponytail. She has a tan-brown ruff, and shaggy darker brown wings with darker tips. She has a 'skirt' that looks as if made of bones, specifically a lower jaw with sharp teeth. The pink talons of Mandibuzz have black nails. Mandibuzz also have shaggy brown tail feathers.

Gender differences

Mandibuzz is a female-only species. Braviary is regarded as a male counterpart, but is a separate species that cannot produce Vullaby Eggs.

Mandibuzz swoop from the sky at weakened prey and drag it back to their nests of bones. They decorate themselves with bones.

Trivia

Origin

Mandibuzz is based on an Old World Vulture or the California Condor. Her design also bears resemblance to stereotypical "savages" or barbarians. The row of teeth around her waist resembles an apron.

According to interviews with Ken Sugimori in Nintendo Dream, Vullaby and Mandibuzz were added late into the development of Black and White. When Mandibuzz was originally created by James Turner, it was unrelated to Braviary, but it was later decided to use its design as a counterpart to Braviary.

Name origin

Mandibuzz may be a combination of mandil and buzzard. It may also refer to mandible.

Vulgina may be a combination of vulture and regina (Latin for queen).
