===Physiology===
[[File:AerodactylVLostOrigin180.jpg|thumb|150px|left|Tropius in ancient times]]
Tropius are large {{wp|sauropod}} Pokémon with brown and green bodies. They possess large green leaves on their backs which they use for flight. These leaves also double for sugar production via photosynthesis, to give Tropius even more energy. Despite being very big and bulky, they are surprisingly maneuverable in the air. They have long necks which they use for reaching treetops to gorge on their most favoured food, fruits. They also grow fruits of their own on their necks that resemble a bunch of ripe bananas. These fruits can be picked and consumed by other Pokémon and by humans, and grow twice a year because of the rapid reproduction of sugar in their leaves, making the rapid production of the fruits in its neck. Their feet have toenails the same color as their fruit.
Tropius is a large, {{wp|sauropod}}-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a brown body wrapped in green leaves on its chest and head. It possesses large, broad green leaves on its back, which it uses for flight and for sugar production via photosynthesis. Despite being very big and bulky, it is surprisingly maneuverable in the air. It has a long neck with a thin black line around it. It uses its neck for reaching treetops to gorge on its most favored fruit. Since it ate only this kind of fruit continuously, the fruit began to grow around its neck. These yellow, banana-like fruits can be picked and consumed by other Pokémon or humans, and grow twice a year because of the rapid production of sugar in Tropius's leaves. Its feet have toenails the same color as its fruit.


====Gender differences====
In warm areas, there are ranches that raise Tropius. In [[Alola]], its fruit is especially sweet compared to those of other regions. It lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|tropical jungles}}. In the [[TCG]], Tropius was [[Aerodactyl V (Lost Origin 92)|shown]] existing before the time [[Fossil Pokémon]] went extinct.
None.

====Special abilities====

Tropius and Torkoal knocked each other out when their {{m|SolarBeam}} and {{m|Overheat}} attacks connected and created an explosion.

===Origin===
===Origin===
Tropius shares characteristics with the {{wp|Brachiosaurus}}, a {{wp|sauropod}} dinosaur from the late {{wp|Jurassic}} period. There is also a legend that a creature known as {{wp|Mokele mbembe}}, which is said to resemble a sauropod, lives on in the jungles of the {{wp|Congo}} basin in Africa. Tropius also resembles a {{wp|banana plant}}.
Tropius resembles a generic {{wp|sauropoda|sauropod}}, a clade of long-necked, herbivorous {{wp|dinosaur}}s, combined with a {{wp|banana}} plant. Its tropical characteristics and sauropod-like body may also be inspired by the {{wp|Mokele-Mbembe}}, a cryptid creature said to live in the Congo River Basin, most often described as a sauropod.


====Name origin====
====Name origin====
Tropius's name is a combination of ''tropical'' and ''-saurus''. It could also be a pun of 'tropism'. {{wp|Phototropism}} happens when the plant needs more sunlight, and so turns to the available source of light. If a plant is planted the wrong way around, the roots will use geotropism to grow towards gravity and find water.
Tropius may be a combination of ''tropical'' and ''-saurus'' (common suffix in names of dinosaurs and extinct reptiles derived from the Ancient Greek word for lizard). It may also involve ''{{wp|tropism}}'' (orientation of plants in response to a particular environmental stimulus).
