Darcula

Darcula is a dual-type Bug/Dark Pokémon.

It evolves into Taraterror starting at level 26.

Physiology
Darcula is a tiny spider, most likely a tarantula. It has a black body with a white skull-shaped marking at the top, eight brown legs, with the front-most ones facing forward, and red eyes and red fangs.

Gender Differences
None.

Special Abilities
Darcula have built up resistence towards Spidox venom from competition; not even a dose strong enough to take out human adults would have any effect on them.

Behavior
Darcula love to feed on bacteria and parasites found in natural objects. Competition with Spidox caused Darcula to build up resistance from their venom. Not even a dose strong enough to kill humans would have any effect. They are commonly mistaken for spreading bacteria and parasites. Although they are plentiful, they constantly avoid being discovered, and travel in clusters to devour things, while one would often keep watch. They are fast, and are hard to catch, and prove a nuisance to urban households.

Habitat
Darcula live inside dead tree trunks in dark forests. Wild Darcula are found in the grass in Blackleaf Woods and walking around in the Haunted House within the Blackleaf Woods.

Shiny Coloration Differences
For Shiny Darcula, the brown legs and the red eyes and fangs turn green, with the former being a duller shade of green.
