As an Onix grows old and large, the long exposure to intense pressure and magic of the depths hardens its body and its resolve. Eventually, an Onix's body becomes harder than diamond, and takes on a mirror-like sheen. The Onix has become a Steelix, and no longer has to give a damn about just about anything.
