They can produce a wide variety of acids and reactive chemicals to use neat, or combine into new and exciting forms. They steal glassware from humans; some researchers say they can make their own, but not very well.

Base Stats: 50/100/50/100/50/100 (450)

Ability: Technician/Anticipation/[Broken Glass](Pokemon slowly fills the arena with glass hazards from its broken potion receptacles)

#092 - Hellion
Bane Pokémon
Acid/Fire-type
Its acid is incredibly potent, melting through steel, sand, and brick. It reacts exothermically, leaving behind a dangerous red-hot sludge. It smells awful, too. One Hellion can clear out a whole town.

Base Stats: 100/50/100/50/100/50 (450)

These guys have gone through a lot of changes over the years-- Hellion was mentioned but not described in the original Gods and Demons, but at that time it was intended to be a black and red demon TLK lion, basically. lol

The pokedex card quotes are from Things I Won't Work With, a supremely entertaining chemistry blog.

Hellion does of course have a touch of a StarCraft reference in its design.

    Molotabby is probably your most entertaining design yet. Walking around with stolen chemistry equipment, sunglasses, and a grin of audacity really sell this mon as being incredibly fun to be around (and incredibly dangerous). And I do love Hellion's face too. It's the kind of smirk one makes when intentionally letting out a rancid fart in a crowded elevator. If Moriko and friends don't meet these guys in part II, I'll be terribly disappointed.
