==Summary==
Zarude is a Mythical Dark/Grass Pokémon. Zarude are social and live in packs. They're usually incredibly aggressive, and frighten most other Pokémon; excelling in battle with their sharp claws and quick wit. However, they occasionally exhibit a softer side. A caped Zarude named Dada split from its pack to raise and nurture an orphaned human infant. It's said that this Zarude derived unique strength from its bond to the adopted human child.
