Known for its intense desire to fly, Bagon spends its days headbutting rocks and trees, training its neck muscles and hardening its skull in the futile hope that one day it will take to the skies.

Culturally, Bagon embodies the spirit of perseverance and the pursuit of an ambitious dream, resonating with many fans who appreciate its underdog story.
