Flavor Text

: They move in small groups, walking around lazily. Anyone who makes eye contact gets smacked with a headbutt.
: It stretches its saggy skin up to its neck to protect itself. The saggier their skin, the more respect they garner.

: If it locks eyes with you, watch out! Nothing and no one is safe from the reckless headbutts of this troublesome Pokémon.
: It protects itself with its durable skin. It’s thought that this Pokémon will evolve once its skin has completely stretched out.
