Its story
Lifestyle
It evolves from Finizen. When allies call for help, ancient genes awaken and it takes Hero Form, shown only to those it trusts.
In the anime
Only Liko sees the transformation, because she stopped the Snap Boys from photographing it, and she tells no one.
Name origin
It blends the bottlenose dolphin, the striped dolphin, and a superhero. Palafin may combine paladin or pal with fin or delfín, Spanish for dolphin.
