Description Dugtrio is a strange pokemon, but still a very powerful ground type.

The first thing you will notice about this animal is its three heads. It was once thought they were three diglett trplets staying close together but it has been proven that they are actually one creature and is why it is recognised as a seperate pokemon.

Scientists are still theorising about why three heads would benefit a subterranian animal such as this, theories are that while one head concentrates on digging the other two can eat insects and worms as it digs. Dugtrio would need a continuous and constant source of energy because it digs so fast through the earth, so it seems plausable that it would use its other heads to keep up its energy. Other scientists beleive it is some sort of evolutionary side effect from an ancestorial trait, and has no real use what so ever. The heads are joined and work as one mind rather than three individual ones. Three heads is not unique to the dugtrio but it is rare and scientists are still working on theories to explain this.

Their bodies are much larger than Diglett's and have larger front claws, though it is rare to see their body above ground level as they have symilar traits to Diglett.
They can dig to amazing depths without surcoming to underground pressures, one tunnel was found to stretch as deep as 60 metres below sea level. There have even been theories that Dugtrio have cause earthquakes by digging near to tectonic plates, though there is no substancial proof of this. One of the fastest diggers in the world they can reach up to 60 mph if in extreame open areas. They can reach these speeds by working both their back and front claws symoltaniously in a twisting motion and pushing their three heads back and forth to loosen the soil around them.

hope you like it

i know, three heads is ridiculous, but its my job to make them as believable as possible.

I really like your work, and the pokemon description rocks; however, I was stunned: I always thought digglets and dugtrios were similar to worms or insects rather than moles.
Mmh...by your drawing, should I assume dugtrios are mammals, like a monotreme?

JoshuaDunlop In reply to poizoned-tearz [2009-08-14 08:53:50 +0000 UTC]

they are mammals, digletts have always been described as moles and said to have mammalian qualities

Interesting....in the previous pieces you've done of Pokemon with multiple heads, each head of an individual actually has some personality that separates itself from the other head(s). Dugtrio, however, NONE of the three heads possess a singular personality and thus acts more of a collective. Kinda wyrd for a mammal...

in the kanto region 3 different pokemon evolve and gain 3 heads, kinda repetitive, makes ya think that they couldnt find a good way to evolve them,

JoshuaDunlop In reply to platinumtyrant [2009-07-01 13:10:54 +0000 UTC]

lol yer i know but in a way it allows there to be an evolutionary trait in the pokemon world, so that not just one had three heads and everyone looked at it like 'why does it have three heads.. nothing else in the natural world has three heads?' if other pokemon do then its accepted you know?

For the longest time, my sister had thought the pink oval was a mouth, but I was ALWAYS saying, "No! It's the nose!", so...heheh I won the debate, of course, since that's exactly what it is...

Absolutely ADORABLE and stunning picture and description, as always...although I still like to believe it's three seperate...(three heads is kinda creepy)

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

JoshuaDunlop In reply to Dani-Claw [2009-07-01 13:15:37 +0000 UTC]

True its kinda creepy, but then its a repetition on the natural pokemon already, dotrio, magneton etc, plus if they were simply three seperate diglett together all the time, you really cant class that as a compleaty seperate evolution cos its not a new animal?

Dani-Claw In reply to JoshuaDunlop [2009-07-01 17:34:45 +0000 UTC]

yeah...I see. I remember in playing Poke'mon Mystery Dungeon, a diglett was all, "Hey, daddy! I'm so glad you're back!" to a dugtrio, so...
