Cyndaquil, Known as the Fire Mouse Pokémon, is the Fire-type Starter Pokémon in Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal, and its remakes Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver. Its fur is bluish on top of its body, but a milky color on the underside. Although called the Fire Mouse Pokémon, Cyndaquil seems to be a composite of features from an echidna and a hedgehog, seen in the flames erupting from its back, and the shrew, a rat and a mouse, the general shape of its body. Its eyes are often closed, as it is still young. It has four red spots on its back from which its flames erupt. Cyndaquil is usually timid, but is capable of defending itself by using the fire on its back.
