'''Corphish''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヘイガニ''' ''Heigani'') is a {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]].
 
It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Crawdaunt}} starting at [[level]] 30.
 
==Biology==
Corphish is a red-shelled, crustacean Pokémon with a short tail similar to a lobster. Its eyes are saucer-like with small pupils, and it has three spikes on top of its head. It possesses four pairs of limbs in total: two large pincers used for gripping prey, and three pairs of legs used for walking. The upper segments of its legs, underside of its body and lower halves of its pincers are cream-colored.


=Biology=
A hardy creature, Corphish is able to live in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon|polluted water}} and eat nearly anything. Though not native to [[Alola]], Corphish set free by Trainers there have easily adapted and thrived in the region. {{p|Feebas}} and Corphish are the only Pokémon known to be able to live in stagnant ditches.
==Physiology==
Corphish are crustacean Pokémon with a red shell. They possess four pairs of legs in total: two claws and three pairs of legs used for walking about.
===Gender differences===
===Special abilities===
==Behavior==
Corphish try to compensate for their small size by being stronger than any other Pokémon on their territory. If a new Pokémon enters its territory, the resident Corphish will immediately challenge it to battle.

==Origin==
===Sprites===
Based on the Pokémon Ruby Pokédex entry, Corphish is probably Red Swamp Crayfish (Procambarus clarkii).  Native to North America, this species was introduced in Japan as food for bullfrogs. Today, these crayfish are popular pets in Japan.<sup>[http://animaldiversity.ummz.umich.edu/site/accounts/information/Procambarus_clarkii.html]</sup>

===Name origin===
==Trivia==
Corphish's name is possibly a pun on ''[[wp:crayfish|crayfish]]''.  
*Corphish is the only Pokémon to date with a [[catch rate]] of 205.
*Corphish can be found in the Hoenn region, but it says in its Pokédex entries that it came from another region overseas. This would make it the first exotic species in the Pokémon world.
*Corphish's tendency to say "Hey, hey!" in such games as [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]] and [[PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure]] is a reference to its Japanese name, "Heigani".


Alternatively, it could be a homonymic play on the arcane Newfoundland fishing term ''corfish''; the meaning of "corfish" is not clear. According to "West to Pemaquid,"<sup>[http://members.skyweb.net/~channy/Westto.html]</sup>, corfish were a "kind of dried fish," specifically, "a green variety." It goes on to say that the other kind of dried fish was called "dunfish," which we can ascertain from the 1913 Webster means "''codfish cured in a particular manner, so as to be of a superior quality.''" We can assume from this that "corfish" is thus probably a type of preserved, dried codfish, and, according to ''West to Pemaquid'', lower quality than dunfish (''corfish ... was suitable for sale ... as slave food ...''). "Colony of Avalon,"<sup>[http://www.heritage.nf.ca/avalon/history/documents/letter_48.html]</sup> further asserts corfish to mean "wet-cured fish" (to ''cure'' being to preserve using salts or smoke). ''Corfish'' is mostly obsolete, but is still sometimes used, and can especially be found in old English; for example, see page 279 of ''Captain John Smith: A Select Edition of His Writings'' or ''New England Before the Pilgrim Fathers Landed''<sup>[http://www.gutenberg.org/files/16038/16038-h/16038-h.htm]</sup>: "Of dry fish we made about 40000. of Cor fish about 7000," and "With these Furres, the Traine, and Corfish I returned for England in the Bark ..." (1614). The ''Dictionary of Newfoundland English'' defines "corfish," but it is not widely available.
===Origin===
Based on its {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s|Ruby}} [[Pokédex]] entry, Corphish is probably based on the {{wp|Procambarus clarkii|red swamp crayfish}}, which, like Corphish, are invasive pests in many areas.


Old English also used the forms "cor fish" and "cor-fish." Other references to corfish in archaic documents, particularly those authored by Captain John Smith, which provides clues to its meaning are as follows:
====Name origin====
*"''where they take nothing but small Cod, where of the greatest they make Cor-fish, and the rest is hard dried, which we call Poore-John, would amaze a man with wonder.''<sup>[http://webroots.org/library/usahist/ghov2-01.html]</sup>
Corphish may be a combination of ''{{wp|corps}}'' (a branch of military servicemen; pronounced as ''core'') or ''{{wp|corporal}}'' (a member of the military or police force) and ''{{wp|crayfish}}'' (the species it is based on). Alternatively, it could derive from the archaic Newfoundland fishing term ''corfish'', which are a type of dried fish.
*:"''Newfoundland doth yearly freight near eight hundred sail of ships with a silly, lean, skinny poor-john, and cor fish ...''"<sup>[http://www.heritage.nf.ca/avalon/history/documents/letter_62.html]</sup>


Its Japanese name is based on 平家蟹 ''heikegani'', [[wp:Heike crab|Heike crab]].
Heigani is a combination of 弊 ''hei'' (''a bad habit'' or ''to harm'') or 兵 ''hei'' (army/troops) and ''ebigani'' (crayfish).
