Caterpie is a serpentine Pokémon that resembles the larvae of the {{wp|Spicebush Swallowtail}}. It is a green caterpillar with yellow ring-shaped markings down the sides of its body. It also has large yellow eyes with black pupils. Its most notable characteristic is the bright red antennae ({{wp|osmeterium}}) on its head, which releases a stench to repel predators. These and the large eye-shaped markings help to startle predators. Its feet are tipped with suction cups, permitting this Pokémon to scale most surfaces with minimal effort | Caterpie is a serpentine Pokémon that resembles the larvae of the {{wp|Spicebush Swallowtail}}.

Caterpie will shed its skin many times before finally cocooning itself in thick silk. It can also spit this silk in order to entangle foes as seen in ''[[EP003|Ash Catches a Pokémon]]''. It has a voracious appetite that causes it to eat leaves larger than itself. It primarily feeds on vegetation, such as tree leaves. According to [[Pokémon Adventures]], its favorite food is the Vermilion flower. Caterpie lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|forests}}. | Caterpie will shed its skin many times before finally cocooning itself in thick silk.
