Okapyre

 (#007) is a Fire Meta Monster introduced in the first generation.

It transforms into Smokapi starting at level 18, which then transforms into Giraferno starting at level 38.

Along with Frilleaf and Duxic, it is one of the three starting Meta Monsters of the land of Armonia at the beginning of Meta Monsters.

Okapyre is a 2-foot mammalian creature with orange fur covering its body, aside from its gray muzzle and tail and the reddish-orange stripes on its legs. Okapyre is a quadrupedal animal with a long neck and a large head. Its eyes are large and oval-shaped and they have orange irises. It has medium-sized drooping ears and small match-like horns emerging from its scalp. Its legs have large round knees and large gray hooves. There is a small flame on the tip of its tail.

Okapyre are adorable but clumsy creatures. It takes them quite a bit of time for them to get used to the most basic of actions, so they tend to have trouble walking for several days after they're born. Because of their clumsy nature, Okapyre will often accidentally start fires that they don't mean to, usually by sneezing. Okapyre have been known to eat charcoal and have been seen excreting a foul-smelling, tar-like substance from their hooves when threatened.
