Tauros (Japanese: ケンタロス Kentauros) is a Normal-type Pokémon.
Appearance[]
Tauros is a quadruped bovine pokemon. It is covered in light brown fur with a thick, darker brown mane across the neck. It has a rounded muzzle wit a dark brown nose, and three gray bumps running vertically down its forehead. A pair of curved, gray horns grow from atop its head. Each of its three black tails has a tuft of fur on the end, and there is a single gray hoof on each foot.
Personality[]
Tauros is a very violent and rowdy Pokémon that whips itself into a frenzy with its three tails. Once it starts charging, it doesn't stop or change its course until it hits something. It will lock horns with its own kind, and the herds leader will take pride in its battle scarred horns.
While known for its fierce behavior worldwide, the Tauros in the Alola region are said to possess a measure of calmness.
