Croconaw is a medium-sized, bipedal, crocodilian Pokémon with a blue and yellow body. Croconaw has three clusters of red spikes on its body: one with three points on its head like a crest, one with two points on its back, and a diamond-shaped spike on its tail. Black markings surround its red eyes. Its lower jaw is yellow and pronounced, and its chest has an asymmetrical, yellow pattern resembling a spotted animal skin. Although Croconaw has been described as always having forty-eight fangs lining its mouth, only six are discernible with four visible when the mouth is closed. It is capable of regrowing lost fangs. Its teeth are positioned like barbed fishing hooks and are impossible to pull out with ordinary strength. Croconaw can rarely be found near water.
Major appearances

Other
Ranger Mason, a Forest Ranger of Mt. Silver, had a Croconaw in Mother Of All Battles. It helps her protect her reserve, and was used to battle the Pokémon Poacher Brothers when they targeted a Larvitar and its mother Tyranitar.
A Croconaw appeared in The Champ Twins!, under the ownership of Bryan. It was used in a battle against Ash and Dawn alongside a Quilava belonging to Bryan's twin brother Ryan. The twins were able to defeat Ash's Turtwig and Dawn's Piplup due to the latter two having a lack of teamwork, but they were defeated in the rematch.
A Croconaw appeared in The Pirates of Decolore!. It was shown in a flashback that Croconaw's Trainer had abandoned the Big Jaw Pokémon complaining that he lost another Gym battle because of Croconaw. Croconaw seemed to be the leader of a group of pirate Pokémon, which also consisted of an Azumarill, Octillery, and Ducklett. After losing in a Double Battle between Ash, Snivy, and Pignite, Croconaw and the other pirates stopped stealing and joined Officer Jenny's coast guard after apologizing to everybody they stole from.
