Giraferno

 (#008) is a dual-type Fire/Metal Meta Monster introduced in the first generation.

It transforms from Okapyre starting at level 18 and then transforms from Smokapi starting at level 38.

is a 12.5-foot tall quadrupedal mammalian creature with orange fur covering its back. The exceptions to this are its dark gray muzzle and the red highlights on its neck (shaped like bricks), its back (shaped like various geometric shapes), and its legs (in the form of stripes and bands). Its eyes are small and thin and have black shadows underneath them; their pupils are red. Running down its neck are three patches of maroon fur forming a sort of "broken up" mane. Its ears are dropping and long, and its smokestack horns are gray and cylindrical with a red banner around the center. Giraferno has a "scarf" of sorts below its head made of smoke, and its tail is thin, gray, and shaped like a chimney sweeper's brush. Its legs are armored below the ankles, and its hooves are hollow and resemble small metallic kilns or ovens.

Like their predecessors (Smokapi in particular), Giraferno are smug, near emotionless creatures with an air of disdain around them. They are a bit more mellow and willing to participate than Smokapi, but they still prefer to do their own thing most of the time. Their horns constantly release a noxious smoke involuntarily, created from the waste from the plants they eat. While this smoke is toxic to almost everything alive, Giraferno have developed the ability to breathe this smoke without risk of suffocation, allowing them to "recycle" their own smoke.




 * Smokapi is the tallest of the Armonia starter final forms.
 * Giraferno and its family are the only Armonia starters to not be based on an Australian animal.
 * Giraferno's original name was going to be "Giruption".

is based on both an okapi, a species of hooved mammals native to the Democratic Republic of the Congo in Africa, and its closest living relative, the giraffe. Its kiln-like feet, smokestack horns, chimney brush-like tail, and brick patterns on its neck indicate that it is also based on a chimney.

The name "" is a combination of the words "giraffe" and "inferno".
