Description
It bears a close resemblance to Wugtrio; however, the two are separate species. Alolan Dugtrio is visually very similar to its counterpart, except each head has a mop of golden hair formed from modified whiskers. The left head has a bob-cut, the right head has curly "shoulder-length" hair, and the last one has flowing hair that touches the ground behind it. This hair is made out of thin, yet heavy strands of steel, which grows slowly and continuously throughout Alolan Dugtrio's life. The hairs act as a defensive measure, as well as sensors that can detect vibrations from long distances underground. In the Alola region, Alolan Dugtrio is regarded as a feminine deity of the earth, and taking its hairs is thought to bring bad luck. The people of Alola are known to fall to their knees and bow in respect to any Alolan Dugtrio they encounter. In Alola, there is a superstitious belief that several Alolan Dugtrio will emerge out of their holes whenever a volcanic eruption occurs. Older residents of Alola will flee instantly upon witnessing this unusual sight. It's believed that Alolan Dugtrio is capable of detecting movements underground that indicate an impending eruption. Due to this, they tend to come aboveground in fright as a warning. They can also be found in the Coastal Biome of Blueberry Academy's Terarium, where Alola's island life is simulated. Alolan Dugtrio and its pre-Evolution are the only known pokémon that can have Tangling Hair as an Ability. Wugtrio was once considered a regional variant of Dugtrio due to their resemblance, but it has since been reclassified as a completely separate species. See also:
