Charmander is born with a flame and its life would end if the flame were to go out. The flame on a Charmander&#39;s tail indicates its life force and its emotions. If it is healthy, the flame burns brightly. If a Charmander is enjoying itself the flame will waver, if enraged the flame will blaze fiercely.

Because of its tail, a Charmander prefers hot places. However, Charmander can survive in the rain and it is said that steam spouts from its tail when it gets wet.
