Druddigon (Japanese: クリムガン Crimgan) is a Dragon-type Pokémon.
It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.
Biology
Physiology
Druddigon is a large, blue, hunchbacked, reptilian creature with medium-sized wings shaped like thistle leaves. It has a set of glaring, ferocious pale yellow irises. Its arms are longer than its legs, giving it a low-slung, sloping gait. It has a thick, medium-length tail and sharp claws on both the hands and feet. Its head is colored bright red, and has several blunt horns and spikes jutting out everywhere. It also has tall, conical spikes—similarly colored red; three on each arm, one on each shoulder, two on each leg, and four on its tail. It has a blunt, brutal snout, bearing a maw with no discernible teeth; instead, small fang-like protrusions sprout from its jaws. It has a series of olive-colored, football-shaped scutes running across its belly.

- Druddigon has the lowest base stat total, Special Attack and Speed compared to fully evolved Dragon-type Pokémon.
- Druddigon shares the same species name with Gabite. They are both known as Cave Pokémon.
- Despite Druddigon's Pokédex entry stating that the skin on its face is harder than a rock, it cannot have Rock Head as an Ability.
- Druddigon is the only non shark-based Pokémon that can have Rough Skin, despite the Japanese name of the Ability being Sharkskin.
- Druddigon is the only Pokémon that can learn Glare that is not based on a snake, despite the Japanese name of the move being Snake Glare.

Origin
Given Druddigon's grotesque features and the rock-like qualities stated in its Pokédex entries, it seems to be based on a gargoyle. Its natural appearance also seems to resemble a European dragon.
Name origin
Druddigon is a combination of dragon and ruddy (reddish in color).
Crimgan may be a combination of crimson and 顔 gan (face) or 岩 gan (rock).
