Trivia

• No other Pokémon as the same type combination as Waruvile and its evolutionary relatives.

Origin

Waruvile seems to be based on the Baryonyx, a fish-eating, slender-snouted dinosaur which heavily resembled a crocodilian. Like its pre-evolution, it is also based on a crocodile, more specifically a slender-snouted crocodile. It's eyes and pose make it appear to be a criminal, which is supported by its Dark type.
