Kiwooo (pronounced kee-woo) is my fire-type starter, based on kiwi birds. Wearing the broken half of a Pokéball and jasper stones onbeither side to strike sparks. They can be quite friendly to those they've gotten used to, but if you're a stranger you better keep your distance. These grumpy birds want to work in peace, often crafting structures of scraps by welding with their fire just to keep others out. If you're lucky you may appeal to one, or be at the receiving end of a tantrum.

I picture a constant disdain in their voice, a high-pitched raspy energy that isn't scary but isn't entirely welcoming either.
