Sun: With its sharp fangs, it will bite anything. It did not originally live in Alola but was imported from another region.
Moon: It wanders around in a never-ending search for food. At dusk, it collapses from exhaustion and falls asleep on the spot.
Ultra-Sun: Its stomach takes up most of its long torso. It’s a big eater, so the amount Trainers have to spend on its food is no laughing matter.
Ultra-Moon: Although it will eat anything, it prefers fresh living things, so it marches down streets in search of prey.
