Abilities: Swift Swim / Hidden: Sturdy

Sail: Small triangular sail (rounded at the top) starting to emerge; light gray with faint blue streaks along the spine.

Arms: Slightly longer than normal for its size; thin but with defined muscle for future growth. Tiny sharp claws.

Head & Teeth: Narrow snout, tiny sharp teeth for fish-snatching. Eyes keen, dark amber.

Body Texture: Smooth, lightly scaled; small rocky nodules forming on forearms and tail base, resembling pebbles.

Tail: Short, slightly flattened at the tip for swimming.

Stage 2: Spinarock

Type: Rock/Water

Classification: River Predator Pokémon

Height/Weight: 2 m / 120 kg

Abilities: Swift Swim / Hidden: Rock Head

Sail: Larger, taller; streaked with darker blues and gray. Slight serration along the top edge.

Arms: Noticeably elongated and muscular; three-fingered hands with a small developing thumb; long curved claws. Slight rock-like ridges along forearms.

Head & Teeth: Jaw elongated, interlocking teeth beginning to appear. Eyes slit-shaped, amber with a hint of cunning intelligence.

Body Texture: Semi-rough scales that still look like rocks; irregular rock-like patches on back, shoulders, and forearms.

Tail: Strong, muscular, slightly flattened side-to-side for swimming.

Stage 3: Spinosurge

Type: Rock/Water

Classification: Apex River Pokémon

Height/Weight: 5 m / 500 kg

Abilities: Swift Swim / Hidden: Solid Rock

Sail: Massive, fully developed; serrated, slightly curved backward. Deep navy-blue with black accents; used for intimidation and mate attraction.

Arms: Extremely long and powerful; fully muscular. Forearms armored with rock-like plating and ridges; claws sharp and dangerous. Fully opposable thumbs on each hand.

Head & Teeth: Huge elongated snout with interlocking teeth. Jaw strong enough to drag large prey into water. Eyes intelligent, amber with piercing black pupils.

Body Texture: Heavily armored with rocky ridges along spine, shoulders, and arms; semi-aquatic streamlined form. Camouflage aids ambush hunting.

Tail: Thick, muscular, flattened fin-like tip for powerful swimming strikes.

Posture: Semi-aquatic crouch; stance balanced but ready to lunge.

Signature Move: Tide Slam – Rock/Water move; heavy damage, inflicts 50% of damage dealt as recoil.

Fossil: Sailback Fossil

Revives Into: Spinette

Appearance: Spine, jaw, and arm bones partially preserved. Sail thin and serrated. Arm bones slightly longer than expected, hinting at future grappling strength. Thick tail vertebrae indicate swimming power. Embedded in stone with natural rock encrustations.

Expanded Fossil & Species Lore

Scientists revived Spinette and its evolutionary line in massive numbers, initially believing they were pack hunters. Early reserves were constructed for group hunting behavior. This assumption proved catastrophically wrong: the Pokémon proved highly territorial and aggressive, with individuals fighting to the death over river stretches, prey, or basking locations. Breeding programs had to be reinforced, and containment procedures became extremely cautious.

Behavioral Notes:

Territoriality: Each Spinarock and Spinosurge fiercely defends a river territory. Juveniles already claim small hunting zones.

Hunting Style: Semi-aquatic ambush predator; uses long arms and camouflage to grab prey and drag it into water. Demonstrates advanced intelligence in setting ambushes.

Social Structure: Solitary except for mating or unavoidable territorial disputes. Juveniles may clash when crowded.

Anatomical & Adaptive Notes:

Arms: Exceptionally long and muscular, evolved for grappling struggling prey. Fossil records show strong muscle attachment points.

Sail: Likely used for intimidation, mate attraction, and thermoregulation. Vascularized bones suggest heat regulation capacity.

Rock-Like Scales: Provide camouflage in riverbeds and partial protection during fights.

Tail: Muscular, laterally flattened; specialized for swimming bursts and dragging prey.

Cultural & Historical Notes:

Ancient humans left myths of “river demons” or “long-armed kings” inspired by this Pokémon.

Cave paintings depict long-armed predators with sails, possibly referencing Spinarock or Spinosurge.

Fossil variation suggests sexual dimorphism, sail variation, and territorial adaptations across its history.

Scientific Significance:

Sailback Fossils revealed rivers of the past were home to apex predators far larger than previously believed.

Spinette’s ancestors survived mass environmental changes, likely due to Rock/Water adaptations and intelligence.

Modern revivals are closely monitored due to extreme aggression and remarkable problem-solving abilities.
