Camerupt

() is a /-type Pokémon introduced in Generation III. It is Sharpedo's counterpart.
==Biology==
===Physiology===
Camerupt is a stout, medium-sized camel Pokémon. Camerupt have three, blue circles on each side of its plump body. Camerupt have four, short, orange legs, three orange hairs on its head and has an orange tail. It also has two stone humps (similar to volcanoes) on its back.
==== Mega Camerupt ====
As Mega Camerupt, the humps on its back have transformed into one large and very active volcano. Its fur expands and grows to a point where only its hooves can be seen, and its ears and the tufts on its head grow thicker and longer, standing on end. It gains a gray M on the front of its face and loses the three blue rings on its body. Magma is constantly bubbling up from within its body.
===Gender differences===
Females Camerupt have slightly bigger humps than the males. This also goes with its pre-evolved form Numel.
=== Behavior ===
Its body contains amounts of molten lava of 18,000 °F (10,000 °C), which erupts out of its humps if the Pokémon is angered. Camerupt live within the craters of active volcanoes, drinking magma that oozes out from the ground. They store this magma within the humps on their backs, which are actually made of modified bone.Every 10 years or so, these humps will erupt on their own, without Camerupt forcing them to.Camerupt are mostly aloof, ignoring anything that doesn’t go out of its way to provoke them. However, they will become uncontrollably angry if something strikes their faces, erupting magma out of their humps recklessly and charging blindly at anything that moves. When Camerupt rampage, they will not cease until they have expelled all of the magma in their bodies.
==== Mega Camerupt ====
It has a deep hatred of water or any moisture, with an explosive personality, and a short temper. The volcano on its back erupts constantly in an effort to intimidate its foes.
===Natural abilities===
Camerupt has the abilities Magma Armor and Solid Rock along with the hidden ability Anger Point. Magma Armor prevents Camerupt from being frozen while Solid Rock reduces a super effective move's power on Camerupt. Anger Point maximizes Camerupt's Attack stats when being hit by a critical hit.
=== Habitat ===
It lives in the craters of a volcano.
==Evolution==
Camerupt evolves from Numel as of level 33. It can further evolve into Mega Camerupt using its Mega Stone.

===Origins===
Camerupt appears to be based on a Bactrian camel with volcanoes for humps. Mega Camerupt is, like Numel, based on a dromedary camel with elements of yaks (which also have fatty humps on their backs). Its association with lava may be an attempt to avert the "camels store water in their humps" myth prevalent in popular culture, as camels actually store fat in their humps, both fat and lava having more solid consistencies than water and both producing heat. Female Camerupt having bigger humps than male Camerupt may come from the fact that estrogen (a hormone more common in female animals) typically causes an increase in the amount of fat an animal has.
Camerupt's English name comes from the words "camel" and "eruption". Bakūda comes from "bakudan" (Japanese for "bomb"), Bactrian (the type of camel it's based on), and "rakuda" ("camel" in Japanese).
