Croagunk (Pokémon): Difference between revisions

Croagunk is a dark blue bipedal frog Pokémon, with white bands around its waist area that resemble bandages and orange and black markings on its hands and feet. These bands around the waist are higher up on a female Croagunk. Its coloring and poisonous nature suggest that it is based on poison dart frogs. The markings on its body make it look like a {{wp|Muay Thai}} fighter, and its jutting teeth make it appear to be wearing a mouthguard. The black around its eyes and the white bands make it look like an injured fighter with black eyes and broken ribs. Its orange cheeks are filled with a poison that runs to its fingers, allowing it to poison opponents by stabbing them.

Whenever its middle finger glows purple, it appears to be channeling its poison via its skin and onto its hand. Fluid squeezed from its finger, although poisonous, is a significant ingredient in remedies for lower-back pain.  Croagunk's skin can have the ability to absorb moisture to heal itself, but it makes it sensitive to heat. It is generally mischievous and mean. A few Croagunk, however, are more comfortable being alone, simply staring at the views around them. Croagunk may also make noise by expanding its poison sacs. It lives in moist areas close to bodies of water, such as swamps and marshes, or forests where there is very little light.
