Charmeleon is a bipedal, reptilian creature similar to Charmander. It has crimson scales that are much darker than that of the bright red Charmander. Once again it has a tail with the tip burning with fire, a trait seen in many Fire-type Pokémon, especially the Charmander evolutionary line. At this point in time its skull has developed a horn-like protrusion to the rear. Its front, and back claws are far sharper, and longer than Charmander.
Charmeleon can of course breathe fire. This fire is much hotter than Charmander's. This is a result of a larger flame burning at the tip of its tail than that of Charmander's. It possesses incredibly large claws which it famously utilizes in its powerful Slash attack.
Charmeleon tend to be stubborn, bad-tempered, and simply hot-headed. Due to their incredible power at such low level they can easily feel they are better than their trainers, and will sometimes even disregard attack commands, although when tame they are a formidable opponent, and a loyal partner. Wild Charmeleon are ready to evolve when they begin to travel in different areas battling random opponents; the flames on their tails begin to flash larger occasionally also.
Charmeleon are rare in the wild, but thrive in harsh environments such as craggy mountains, and active volcanoes; other environments where Charmeleon dwell in large numbers include abandoned mines, and heated valleys.
Charmeleon when in the wild will hunt solitary much unlike Charmander who hunt in packs. Their diet consists that of the average omnivorous Pokémon diet.
Charmeleon resembles a small dinosaur with some remnants of Charmander's salamander-like appearance.
Charmeleon's name is a combination of the word "char," meaning "to burn,", and "chameleon."
