Biology
Floatzel is an orange Pokémon resembling an otter or a weasel. It has two pointed blue fins on its arms and two tails. The yellow flotation device gives the impression of an inflatable life vest. When it lays on its back, the flotation sac could also be interpreted as a sort of inflatable dinghy using its tails as a propeller and its fins as oars. Its forelimbs and tails are tipped in cream, and there is an orange teardrop shape in its cream lower belly. Floatzel also has a circular cream spot in the center of its head, cream eyelids and a pattern of two black triangles on the edges of its cream muzzle. It has one cream spot if it is female and two if it is male. It can use its swimming capabilities to assist in the rescues of drowning people. It tends to inhabit swift-moving rivers. Some believe Floatzel is a fish-eater.
