Caterpie is a stylized {{wp|caterpillar}}, most resembling an {{wp|Eastern Tiger Swallowtail}} caterpillar. Its "antenna" is an {{wp|osmeterium}}, an organ unique to swallowtail caterpillars which, like Caterpie, they use to emit a foul odor. The tip of Caterpie's tail resembles the horn at the end of most species of {{wp|Hawk moth}} larvae.
