Gratarapra

The Grill Pokémon

Fire Rock

It lives on mountainous cliffs, in herds with other members of its species. It climbs steep rocky surfaces to reach certain salts that it prefers. The coat on its back sweats ointments that attract certain bugs, and for this issue it has a boney grill-like grate that prevents them from reaching those oils. It also makes its job easier, since it just has to raise its head and the horns will keep the bug in place until it's cooked. Its limited vision makes it the prime target of a Berbeloar, but its ability to quickly climb steep surfaces lets it escape if it's fortunate. While not domesticated, humans use Gratarapra's grill-like grate to cook meat on. Gratarapra doesn't actually care, as long as it gets to eat a block of salt while they grill. They cut off parts of its horns that act like coal and then put them under the grate, the oil from its coat giving any kind of meat cooked on it a divine taste. Researchers shockingly discovered that the individuals who consume Gratarapra meat on a daily basis are overall happier and content with their lives. In one case, a researcher asked one of these communities why they don't use the coal horns that grow back as a renewable energy source instead of grilling. Everyone in the room went quiet, babies started crying and a window broke for unknown reasons. The locals refused to give an explanation, and proceeded to escort the researcher out, stating that it's disrespectful towards their grills to not use the coal to… grill…
