'''Croconaw''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''アリゲイツ''' ''Alligates'') is a {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation II]].


It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Totodile}} starting at [[level]] 18 and evolves into {{p|Feraligatr}} starting at level 30.

===Physiology===
[[File:Sleep Style 0159-1.png|thumb|left|200px|Croconaw sleeps with one eye open]]
Croconaw are medium-sized mostly blue reptiles with red spikes, and a set of pronounced jaws. They possess an asymmetrical pattern on their chests that somewhat resembles a spotted animal skin.
Croconaw is a bipedal, {{wp|Crocodylia|crocodilian}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It has well-developed, rounded jaws with two fangs visible in the corners of the lower jaw even when closed. Its eyes are red with black markings around them. There are three clusters of red spikes on its body: one with three points on top of its head, one with two points between its shoulders, and a diamond-shaped one near the tip of its tail. While most of its body is blue, its lower jaw is yellow and there is an asymmetrical, yellow-and-blue pattern around its chest that resembles a spotted animal skin.
====Gender differences====
None.


====Special abilities====
Although Croconaw is described as always having forty-eight fangs lining its mouth, only six are discernible. The tips of its teeth are slanted backward similar to a barbed fish hook; this makes them impossible to remove once embedded in something. Once Croconaw has bitten down onto something, it will not let go until it loses its teeth; any missing teeth will quickly grow back. Croconaw can rarely be found {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon|near water}}. As shown in [[Pokémon Sleep]], Croconaw and its evolutionary relatives are known to sleep with one eye open and rest only half of its brain at a time — a practice known as {{wp|Unihemispheric slow-wave sleep|unihemispheric sleep}}. During sleep, as one half of Croconaw's brain rests, the eye on the same side opens. This allows Croconaw to watch for enemy attacks while it sleeps.
Along with the usual {{type2|Water}} abilities, their powerful jaws are capable of regrowing fangs that are lost.


===Behavior===
===Evolution===
===Habitat===
Croconaw evolves from {{p|Totodile}} and evolves into {{p|Feraligatr}}.

Croconaw mainly live near water, but are rare in the wild.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* The design on Croconaw's belly reverses direction in the [[Generation III]] sprites and onward.
* Croconaw is the first partner Pokémon with the shortest level gap between evolutions at 12, evolving from Totodile at level 18, and into Feraligatr at level 30.
* Not counting starters in spin off games, Croconaw evolves faster than any other {{type|Water}} starter (It evolves at lvl. 30). In fact, it is also the fastest starter to reach its final stage, {{p|Feraligatr}}.
* Due to [[List of censored words (Generation V)|the censor]] that prevents Pokémon with offensive [[nickname]]s from being traded on the [[GTS]], an English-language Croconaw cannot be traded on the GTS without a nickname in {{game|Black and White|s}}.
 
===Origin===
===Origin===
This species of [[Pokémon]] is based on {{wp|crocodylia}}ns.
Croconaw appears to be based on a {{wp|crocodilia}}n. In {{g|Sleep}}, Croconaw and its evolutionary relatives are revealed to sleep with one eye open, just like real-life crocodiles.
 
It also appears to have a {{wp|prehistory|prehistoric}} theme, as its head spikes and chest patterns seems to be based on the wild hair and animal-skin cloth worn by {{wp|caveman|cavemen}}, while its head resembles that of a {{wp|theropoda|theropod dinosaur}}. The crest on Croconaw's head is similar to the {{wp|mohawk}} hairstyle which may allude to Croconaw's boisterous personality.
 
====Name origin====
====Name origin====
Croconaw's name is a combination of ''{{wp|crocodile}}'' and ''gnaw'', whereas its Japanese name is based on ''{{wp|alligator}}''.
Croconaw may be a combination of ''{{wp|crocodile}}'' and ''gnaw'', though it may also involve ''maw'' or ''jaw''.
 
Alligates may be derived from ''{{wp|alligator}}''.
