Larvesta

() is a /-type Pokémon introduced in Generation V.
==Biology==
===Physiology===
Larvesta is a larval Pokémon that resembles a moth caterpillar. It has a fluffy mane of white fluff surrounding its head. Protruding from is white fur are five blazing flare-like appendages. Underneath the white fur, its face is black, as well as its six stubby legs, and it has light blue ovular eyes with tiny black pupils. Its backside is segmented and brownish-tan in color. 
===Behavior===
It is said that Larvesta was created from the sun itself. It also is named by people as the Larva That Stole the Sun. However, Larvesta can also be a nuisance as it causes forest fires. 
This Pokémon lives at the feet of volcanoes.
===Natural abilities===
It spews fire from its five horns as a deterrent against predators. The flames not only reaches a blistering temperature of 5,500 degrees Fahrenheit, but are also capable of slicing through iron sheets.
==Evolution==
Larvesta evolves into Volcarona at level 59.

==Trivia==
*Larvesta evolves later than any -type Pokémon, evolving at level 59. In fact, the only Pokémon to evolve at a later level are Hydreigon and Dragapult (though Deino evolves into Zweilous and Dreepy evolves into Drakloak nine levels earlier than Larvesta).
**This means that Larvesta takes the longest to undergo a single stage of evolution via level up.
*Despite its Pokédex entries saying it encases itself in a cocoon of fire when it evolves, it does not have an evolved form that is based on a cocoon.
===Origin===
Larvesta may be based on the larvae of the sycamore tussock moth which sport similar white hair with longer orange hair. The positioning of the orange growth may make it based on the Tower of the Sun or the Daimonji. The brown section of its body, as well as being part type, make it resemble a cigar.
===Etymology===
Larvesta comes from larva (the young form of some insects), lava, and Vesta (a Roman goddess represented by fire).
Its Japanese name, Meraruba, comes from メラメラ (meramera, onomatopoeia for something flaring up) and larva.
