General Health: good, Obstagoon are vulnerable to bovine tuberculosis, mustelid herpesvirus-1, rabies, distemper, generalized demodectic mange, pneumonia, lymphosarcoma and parasites such as tapeworms, fleas, ticks and lice, generalized demodectic mange can be caused by a weak immune system or individuals may be genetically predisposed to it and it can be treated with antibacterials, antibiotics and topical ointment, trainers with newly caught Zigzagoon are advised to have them checked for parasites at a Pokemon Center as soon as possible to prevent the spread of fleas and lice

Skin: skin is pinkish grey in color, thick, loose and very tough to protect against Combee stings, Chewtle bites, Sizzlipede burns and all kinds of damage, skin is rubbery in texture, Obstagoon may be predisposed to mange so trainers are advised to take extra care of their partner's skin and watch for severe itching and hair loss, dermal health is good

Claws: Obstagoon have three fingers and a thumb on each hand as well as four toes on each foot, their long shovel-like claws are adapted for digging and they put them to good use digging the shared latrines for their clan, burying their dead and poking around for tasty insect Pokemon to eat, you can get a general idea of an Obstagoon's age by looking at their claws as older individuals may have their claws almost completely worn down, claws are in good shape
Level: 58, assessed by a Circhester police officer after investigating a noise complaint that turned out to be Snarrl viciously beating a trainer's Diggersby
Ability: Guts, individuals with this ability are remarkably resilient and tough, where most Pokemon with burns are in too much pain to strike at full force and poisons leave them ill, Pokemon with Guts not only shrug off any damage that these effects do but become more aggressive as a result, increasing their Attack stat by 50%, however they may not outwardly express the pain these conditions are causing, inexperienced trainers may mistake their Pokemon's resilience for an immunity and unknowingly ignore the condition, causing it to worsen

General Description: Snarrl is a dirty punk bully that takes what he wants, when he wants. If his rotten breath and razor sharp teeth don't make them steer clear, he's more than glad to give them a thrashing they won't forget. He's egotistical and has no respect for anyone but himself. He especially loathes those who think they're in control of others and what they do. Snarrl is also terribly impatient, rude, loud and pugnacious. His joy comes from intimidating others, blasting rock music on his beat up radio and stealing goodies from domestic pokemon and their trainers.
