Onix is a rock type monster. Its name is a play on a banded variety of chalcedony. Its original Japanese name is ‘Iwark’イワーク.
Onix resembles a giant chain of grey boulders, with a rocky spine on its head. It has a magnet in its brain that serves as an internal compass. Onix's body becomes more rounded and smoother as it grows with age. A fully-grown Onix measures at an enormous 28 feet 10 inches, or 8.8 meters. They often tunnel underground at speeds of over fifty miles per hour, which regularly causes tremors. If they take a hard enough blow and their body falls apart, they can re-grow the rest in a matter of a few weeks. Onix are capable of rotating their head, or any part of their body, a full 360 degrees.
They are very hotheaded and will constantly attack humans and other animals, should various objects become caught in their jagged bodies. However, domesticated Onix will show signs of distress instead of assailing others. Onix can be found in mountains and caves, though they prefer underground tunnels with little light. It can also be found in craggy mountains and abandoned mines. Their diet consists primarily of large boulders.
