Cuburn, the Cub Pokémon!
Cuburn generates sparks and embers from the friction in its orange outer coat. While this coat is fire-proof, it down not have control over this ability, and often sheds embers when it is startled. For that reason, it tends to accidentally start small fires when scared, and this acts as a distraction for potential predators as it runs away. Despite this behavior, Cuburn is also attracted to large fires, especially at night. Often, unwary campers will find Cuburn resting near a campfire when they wake up, if they have not taken care to put it out when they go to sleep. For this reason, Rangers and park managers advise strict care and maintenance of forest fires, as the attraction of Cuburn can result in unfortunate circumstances. Additionally, Cuburn will often forage at campsites when they find them, which is another consequence of leaving a campfire unattended in the Novang Region. For this reason, Cuburn is also sometimes called “the Campfire Pokémon”.
Hello! This is the Fire-type Starter for my fan made Pokemon region! Cuburn is based on the American black bear (Ursus americanus), as well as another source that’ll be elaborated on later in the evolutionary chain. I’ll be posting Cuburn evolutions and other Fakémon on this site soon enough, so stay tuned if you’re interested! I hope you like this little guy; just don’t leave your campfires and food unattended around him! Or his evolutions, for that matter. But that’s a discussion for another time.
