Sandshrew have historically lived in desert areas. But the frequent eruptions of nearby volcanoes drove the Sandshrew to abandon the desert and migrate to snowy mountains, where they took on this form.
Sandshrew’s body changed to adapt to the harsh environment of the snowy mountains. The Alolan Sandshrew has a shell of ice covering its skin, which is like hard steel. It excels defensively, but it lacks flexibility and can’t curl its body into a ball like a Ground-type Sandshrew can.
Its heavy weight makes the Alolan Sandshrew slower than a normal Sandshrew, but the claws on its hands and feet allow it to move across ice without slipping. When it wants to move quickly, it uses its stomach to slide across the ice like a curling rock.

MemberWhy did they think it was a good idea to slap a fuckin igloo on his head? It looks completely ridiculous.

MemberThose are its ears and its shell, there's no actual igloo there. A snow-white shell helps it blend into the snow covered mountaintops while retaining its defense against predators.
In other news, sliding across ice on its stomach, it's become a penguin!

MemberPart of its head is shaped like one
Im aware that it isnt an actual igloo on his head, im just saying that it looks like there is and that it looks really dumb to me.
