: It conceals food under the long fur on its body. It carts around this food stash and swallows it without chewing.

: It needs to consume its own weight in food every day. As far as flavor is concerned, it’s indifferent.
: When it finds something that looks like it might be edible, it goes right ahead and swallows it whole. That’s why it gets fatter day by day.
: It hides food under its long fur, but it sometimes forgets about it and causes a stinky disturbance.
: Anything that looks edible, Munchlax will go on and swallow whole. Its stomach is tough enough to handle it even if the food has gone rotten.
