Mewtwo

Mewtwo is a Legendary Pokémon species hailing from the Kanto region.

## **Appearance**

Mewtwo is a tall, bipedal, humanoid Pokémon with feline features. Its body is entirely white save for its long purple tail, which is thick at the base but thins out before ending in a bulb. It has purple eyes, a tube behind its neck, and a pair of short, blunt horns atop its head that somewhat resemble ears. Its chest and shoulders are well-defined, resembling a breastplate. Each of its hands possesses three bulb-tipped fingers. It has two toes on each foot that are much longer than the third, which appears to be a small ball on its ankles.

As Mega Mewtwo X, it is larger and bulkier with blue eyes and two tubes behind its neck. Its tail is now shorter and stiffer and has a curled tip. The tips of its longer, thinner digits are less bulbous, and its innermost toes have grown to be as long as the others. It has purple growths over its shoulders that join together in a padded mass on its upper back. A thin, black Y-shaped line connects its collar to its underbelly, and the horns on its head extend from V-shaped ridges, are now pointed, and curve slightly upward. It has lost the breastplate on its chest, and its limbs are longer and bulkier, making it more physically fit. Its thighs and forearms each possess two raised ridges.

As Mega Mewtwo Y, it is smaller and thinner compared to the previous two. It has larger red eyes and purple, bulbous digits, with its middle toes being larger than the others. It has lost its tail and the tube behind its neck, replacing both with a long purple appendage with a curled tip growing from the back of its head. Atop its head are two backward spikes and a half ring-like structure that connects to the base of each spike and crosses over the top of its head. It lacks the breastplate on its chest, instead having a bumpy ridge similar to a sternum.

## **Origin**

Mewtwo was born from a pregnant Mew whose embryo had been tampered with by scientists to alter its DNA. The developing embryo was held and studied in a mansion lab where one scientists performed horrific DNA engineering and gene-splicing experiments on it, ultimately creating Mewtwo. The experiments it endured resulted in Mewtwo becoming an extremely powerful Pokémon with a vicious disposition. It eventually fled after it escaped the mansion, destroying it in the process.

## **Behavior**

Mewtwo is said to have the most savage heart among all Pokémon. It is rumored to have no compassion and strike fear into its foes with cold, glowing eyes. Though the anime has proven this to be initially true, it was later disproved, showing Mewtwo as compassionate, selfless, and altruistic, though it prefers to avoid contact with humans.

## **Habitat**

Mewtwo is said to be living in a cave somewhere.
