>Contrary to popular belief, Mawile are not especially fond of human flesh. They will eat it when hungry enough, and occasionally a poor trainer near the end of a long road has indeed been eaten by Mawile, but it is rare among wild Mawile; none of these trainers had pokemon a Mawile could digest. (Incidentally, Mawile jaws are perfectly capable of crunching rock and steel-type pokemon; it is fire types which give them trouble.) Humans, after all, are extremely dangerous prey.

>The reason Mawile are so often associated with man-eating is not anything inherent to the pokemon, but the fact that many human cultures saw in them a method for gruesome executions. The Romans pitted prisoners of war against Mawile in the arena. Emperors of Hoenn dropped criminals – be they murderers or simply guilty of dissent - into a pit of Mawile with open jaws, surrounded the pit with raised platforms and invited the public to watch. It need not be used as an execution method, for the fear of a painful death can be as useful as the brutality of being ripped apart; a common torture method is to lower people, feet-first, into a Mawile's open jaws.

>Yet it is not the Mawile who relish this, for their empathic brains can feel the agony of human minds and the food they get is not even that tasty; indeed, many are fed more than they can safely digest, for humans are a fair amount larger than a Mawile's body. Yet Mawile are nothing if not loyal to their trainers, and the combination of a pokemon's obedience with their trainers' capacity for cruelty allows for the darkest recesses of human savagery to be made real.

For me, it's just a cute pokemon with a simply but nice design. Ever since I first encountered Mawile in ruby, it's been my favorite.

Did the original artist do that? I think it looks better as a sequence without being animated

It was actually hovering in my top 5 for the longest time. I love steel types, and loved the concept of a cute little pure-steel. Became my favorite when I made it my first mon in gen VI and realized how good it became.

It's small and cute. It's got a simple, clean design. And it's SUPPOSED to look so cute and endearing. I really like how it's general cuteness is the set-up and then it turns its' false jaws to capitalize. That contrast is just lovely.

And this was BEFORE it got that amazing mega.
