Biology

Standing 2 feet (61 cm) tall, Mawile is a bipedal creature with a yellow body, with its legs flaring outward and stopping just before its feet. It has three-digit black hands with the coloration extending up to the elbows, while its feet are cloven hooves.

It has large pink eyes, while the hair on its head resembles a bowl cut hairstyle with two tufts of hair extending downward on each side of its brow. A large black horn extends from the back of its head resembling a crocodile maw, with visible white teeth and a yellow spot on the upper middle; this second mouth is made from deformed steel horns.

Design & origin

Mawile's design is inspired by the Futakuchi-onna, a woman said to have a second mouth on the back of her head. For Ruby and Sapphire, the development team wanted to push the concept of what a Pokémon could look like; the design was finalized by Ken Sugimori. Production notes clarify that its horn is not a real mouth, lacking a throat, tongue, and spittle.

In July 2026, an unused Diamond and Pearl design speculated to belong to Mawile's evolutionary line was uncovered.

Forms

Mega Mawile

Mega Mawile stands 3 ft 3 in (99 cm) tall and gains an additional horn maw, each protruding from the sides of its head, while its legs and sleeve-like arms gain pink coloring. It has an extremely vicious disposition, gripping prey in its two sets of jaws and tearing them apart; one gnash can turn a boulder to dust.

It has two mouths. The big jaws on the back of its head can’t taste anything, so that’s the mouth it uses to eat foods it doesn’t like.
Ultra Moon
A cunning and terrifying Pokémon, its cuteness makes opponents let down their guard—and then it swallows them whole with its huge jaws.
Ultra Sun
Mawile’s huge jaws are actually steel horns that have been transformed. Its docile-looking face serves to lull its foe into letting down its guard. When the foe least expects it, Mawile chomps it with its gaping jaws.
Omega Ruby
It chomps with its gaping mouth. Its huge jaws are actually steel horns that have been transformed.

Attached to its head is a huge set of jaws formed by horns. It can chew through iron beams.

It uses its docile-looking face to lull foes into complacency, then bites with its huge, relentless jaws.

Its giant jaws are actually steel horns that transformed. It fools foes into complacency with its adorable gestures, then chomps them with its huge jaws.

Don’t be taken in by this Pokémon’s cute face - it’s very dangerous. MAWILE fools the foe into letting down its guard, then chomps down with its massive jaws. The steel jaws are really horns that have been transformed.

MAWHILE’s huge jaws are actually steel horns that have been transformed. Its docile-looking face serves to lull its foe into letting down its guard. When the foe least expects it, MAWHILE chomps it with its gaping jaws.
