It is the evolved form of Vullaby, a pre-evolution that is exclusively female, reflecting a unique aspect of its biology. Mandibuzz are known for their somewhat macabre habit of collecting bones, which they use to decorate their nests and protect their young. They are often seen soaring high above desert and rocky terrains, scanning the ground below for carrion or weaker Pokémon to prey upon. Their diet primarily consists of the bones and remains of other Pokémon, showcasing their role as scavengers in the ecosystem. In the games, Mandibuzz is a physically defensive Pokémon with access to disruptive moves, often proving a challenge for trainers unprepared for its bulk and utility. In the anime, Mandibuzz has appeared in various episodes, often depicted as a powerful and territorial bird Pokémon. Its distinctive appearance, with its bone skirt and imposing wingspan, gives it a unique aesthetic that sets it apart from other avian Pokémon, contributing to its cultural significance within the Pokémon world as a symbol of the harsh realities of nature.
