Machop are turtle-like bipedal creatures that have gray skin, with three brown ridges on top of its head. They have large eyes, and also have small tails.
Machop, though small, has enough strength to hurl an adult human. Machop's special muscles will never tire or cramp no matter how long it trains.
Machop spend their time, and energy practicing all different forms of martial arts, and trying to improve their abilities. Machop will lift boulders, and Graveler as if they were dumbells in order to strengthen their bodies.
Machop live in mountains, in foreboding areas where they can hone their skills.
(Unconfirmed!)
Machop appears to be based on a bodybuilder.
Machop's name may be a combination of macho, and "chop", which is Spanish for overly masculine or chauvinist. Macho has come to mean tough or masculine in English. Like Mr. Mime, this is not reflected in the gender distribution (even though the females are still rarer than males).
