A reptilian with purple scales over most of its body. It has lost the rattle it had on its tail as an Ekans. Like a cobra, it can spread out its ribs into a hood. On its "hood", it has a design much like an angry face. The frightening patterns on its belly have been studied. Six variations have been confirmed.
It has a nasty bite with deadly venom. Terrifically strong, it is capable of crushing opponents by coiling its body around them, and constricting. It can even flatten steel oil drums. If it encounters an enemy, it raises its head, intimidating the opponent with the frightening pattern on its body. If any part of Arbok's body except for the head it cut off, it can regrow the rest of it's body again in a matter of a few weeks. It shares this trait with Onix.
Rather vicious, Arbok are territorial. They lash out at intruders with long fangs tipped with deadly venom. With a vengeful nature, it won't give up a chase after prey or an opponent, no matter how far, once it targets it prey.
Arbok live in grassy savannas, and plains.
(Unconfirmed!)
It is likely that its design was based upon a cobra.
Its name is the word "cobra" spelled backwards, and with "k" instead of "c."
