Aron(JP) is a species of Pokémon in the series of the same name, introduced in the third generation. It is a Steel/Rock Pokémon. Aron evolves into Lairon at level 32.
Physiology & Behavior
Aron is a quadrupedal Pokémon with four stubby legs and a large round head. Its body is black with plates of gray armor covering its head, back, and legs. Throughout its body are small openings in the armor. There are six openings on its head, with the largest two being openings for its pale blue eyes and one opening on either side of the spike on its back. A single, blunt spike protrudes from its back.
Aron feeds on iron ore that it digs from mountains. It uses this ore to make its body. Sometimes, hunger will drive it to descend from the mountains to eat bridges and rails, which makes it a pest. It makes a new suit of armor after evolving, while its old discarded armor is salvaged for making iron products. People have been collecting Aron's shed armor since ancient times. With one all-out charge, it can demolish even a heavy dump truck. It lives on mountains.

Origin and Inspiration
Aron seems to be based on the Bulgasari, a monster that eats iron in Korean legend, and a dinosaur from the family Nodosauridae. As its Pokémon category suggests, its appearance may also be inspired by plate armours.
