Cobalt the Houndoom

Cobalt is a male Houndoom, the first Pokemon to be a third-in-command for the Megastone Rogues, the late father of Night Fang and mate of Firefang.

--

Appearance: Cobalt has the usual appearance of a Houndoom, with a large dog-like body, two horns on his head, "bone"-like protrusions on various parts of his body, and an arrow-point at the end of his tail. Like all Houndoom, he is black from head to tail with a red muzzle and belly. Being a Mega for most of his time as a Houndoom, Cobalt has a modified appearance.

--

Personality: Cobalt has a strict no-nonsense air, but in Rivalries, he gains a more fun-loving side while traveling with Splashfoot. He is extremely protective of his friends and group, to the point that he's a bit over-protective, refusing to let Grunt and Runt out of the Megastone Rogues' camp, for fear of major threats. Despite this, he is well-respected and a fan-favorite, as when he visited the Village at Bygone Island and Lamarkie Village in Planet Minecraft, he appeared quite popular. He is fierce in battle, defending his friends and utilizing both his Dark and Fire Types to get STAB(Same Type Attack Bonus) with his attacks.

--

Abilities: Like all Houndoom, Cobalt is Dark/Fire-Type, having mastery over fire. He has the Ability Flash Fire, which grants him Fire immunity, powering up his Fire-Type attacks as well. His current moveset is Flamethrower(his go-to, like Pyro's Fire Blast), Roar(uses it for intimidation), Hyper Beam, and Overheat(only uses it when truly enraged). He also improvises Mean/Scary Look, Leer, and Snarl.

--

Past: Nothing is known about Cobalt except for that, as a Houndour, he caused trouble with Aero the Aerodactyl, before being caught by Tai. They chose to join the Megastone Rogues when they were offered it. Cobalt later witnessed Nero's attempt to strangle Tai.

History:

In Legends of the Megastone Rogues:

Tai's Travels, Pt. 1: Cobalt is a rather minor character, only truly appearing twice, first when he comes into the prison after Nero flees after his attempt on Tai's life(his only speaking role), second when he growls when Nero makes his deal of keeping Clamshell and Splash in exchange for releasing the Charmander and Tyrunt brothers. He is among the Megastone Rogues that growl angrily when Nero mocks their group. He does not appear in Pt. 2 of the story.

Nero's Vengeance: Again, Cobalt is minor, only appearing when Tai takes a patrol of Megastone Rogues with him to settle the negotiations with Nero.

Zorro's Tale: Cobalt's only appearance is when he keeps Zorro, Grunt, and an ill Nightclaw from seeing Tai, who was sound asleep. When Tai wakes up to speak with them, he sends Cobalt away, mentioning that [Cobalt] was from Shadow Woods Village as well.

In the Rivalries series: Cobalt appears in Shadows' War, with Splashfoot from Warriors: Legends of the Lost Clan. He mainly stays a Mega while traveling across the Worlds with Splashfoot, before he is forced to revert back to normal when Splashfoot falls violently ill, in order to prevent possession by Sonic.EXE. Later on, Cobalt Mega Evolves again in an aura of flames when Sonic.EXE mockingly threatens an ill Splashfoot's life. Snarling, Cobalt uses Overheat to drive the demonic hedgehog away.
