Heatran(JP) is a species of Pokémon in the series of the same name. It is a dual-type Fire/Steel legendary Pokémon that made its first appearance in the fourth generation games Diamond and Pearl.
Physiology and Behaviour[]
Heatran is a reddish-brown, quadrupedal Pokémon. It is dotted with orange and gray spots, and it has metal bangles locked on its legs. Its four claws on each of its feet are in a cross formation. Heatran has a gray underside, and its face is covered by an iron mask, with red-orange eyes uncovered. Its eyes seem to remain open even when it is asleep. Whenever it is seen with its mouth open, an orange glow emanates from inside it. Because of its intense body heat, certain parts of its body are melted slightly out of shape. Boiling blood, like magma, circulates through its body. While its body is rugged steel, it melts partly due to Heatran's own heat.
Heatran is a fierce guardian. Without the power of the Magma Stone, Heatran would rampage and cause the volcanic crater where it dwells to erupt. Heatran's claws allow it to dig deep into walls, and its feet allow it to stick to a surface, so it can hang and climb from walls and ceilings. According to legends, Heatran was said to have been created from the magma hidden beneath Mount Coronet. The body of Heatran is said to hold many unsolved mysteries. Heatran has the ability to form a shield around itself in order to protect itself from harm.

Heatran in Pokémon Generations
Heatran appeared in Arceus and the Jewel of Life and Pokémon The Arceus Chronicles.
Heatran made its main series debut in Pokémon Ranger: Heatran Rescue!. It was being followed by Ben, who was on a mission to capture it and protect it from a collapsing mountain. In An Old Family Blend!, a Trainer's Heatran was seen entering the Lily of the Valley Conference. This made it the first Legendary Pokémon to be entered by a Trainer in a formal competition.
In Pokémon Generations, a Heatran was awakened by Charon and subsequently began rampaging inside of Stark Mountain, but was calmed by Buck and resealed when he returned the Magma Stone to its original resting place on a stone altar.
Origin and inspiration[]
Heatran may be based on volcanic remains. Its Steel typing may reference how the Earth's inner core is made of solid metal under immense pressure. It may be also based on a personification of magma. In the ancient mythologies of most cultures, the eruptions of volcanoes were explained by the presence of a fire monster living within it, often a dragon.
Heatran may be derived from heat transfer. Its Japanese name may involve ドラゴン dragon.
