It has a blunt snout, narrow brown eyes, and large ears with brown insides. There is a small horn on its forehead, a single spine on each ear, and a line of toxic spikes running down the length of its back. Each hand has three short claws and each foot was two claws. Its lower jaw, the front of its abdomen, and two plates on its chest are cream-colored. It has a thick, powerful tail.
Nidoqueen is a large, blue Pokémon with both mammalian and reptilian features. She has a thick tail and mouse-like ears. Nidoqueen has spikes running down the length of her back and has a horn on her forehead. Her lower-jaw, chest-plates and lower torso are cream-colored.
 
====Gender differences====
Nidoqueen can be quite fierce and is very protective of its young. This Pokémon is at its strongest when it is defending its young, and it will try to seal the entrance to its burrow to protect them. When in contact with foes, it can poison them with the spikes from its back or cause small tremors by slamming the ground. It is also adept at sending foes flying with harsh tackles and it uses its hefty bulk to execute powerful moves. Being the result of an evolution via [[evolutionary stone]], Nidoqueen is rarely found in the wild, though they can be found in {{dl|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|savannas and plains}}.
Nidoqueen is the female of the species. For the male equivalent, see {{p|Nidoking}}.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* Despite being a non-{{pkmn2|legendary}}, gendered species, Nidoqueen are unable to breed.
[[File:Baby Nidoqueen and Baby Rhyhorn.png|thumb|right|Baby Nidoqueen and Rhyhorn in the anime]]
* Nidoqueen is the ''only'' Nidoran evolutionary family member whose shiny color is not the same as its opposite-gender counterpart's normal color.
* Despite its pre-evolved form {{p|Nidoran♀}} and Nidoqueen's male counterpart {{p|Nidoking}} being able to breed, Nidoqueen and its pre-evolved form {{p|Nidorina}} are unable to breed.
* Nidoqueen and her male counterpart {{p|Nidoking}} share the same [[species]] name with {{p|Rhydon}} and {{p|Rhyperior}}. They are all known as Drill Pokémon.
** This also makes Nidorina and Nidoqueen the only two Pokémon that cannot breed even though their pre-evolution can breed.
** Coincidentally, all four are also {{type2|Ground}}s.
** Despite being in the {{egg2|Undiscovered}}, Nidoqueen was shown to be capable of breeding in the anime special ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]'', when a [[Cloning|cloned]] Nidoqueen and a cloned {{p|Rhyhorn}} produced Eggs containing both baby Rhyhorn and ''baby Nidoqueen'' (not baby {{p|Nidoran♀}}).
* Aside from Nidoking, no other Pokémon has the same [[Elemental type|type]] [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|combination]] as Nidoqueen.
* Nidoqueen is the only Nidoran evolutionary family member whose {{Shiny}} color is not the same as its opposite-gender counterpart's normal color.
* Though the [[Generation II]] and [[Generation III]] sprites of Nidoqueen have visible teeth, no other official artwork includes them.
* Nidoqueen and its male counterpart {{p|Nidoking}} share their {{pkmn|category}} name with {{p|Rhydon}} and {{p|Rhyperior}}. They are all known as the Drill Pokémon. All four are also {{t|Ground}} types.
* A shiny Nidoking has the same colors as a normal Nidoqueen.
* Aside from Nidoking, no other Pokémon has the same [[type]] [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|combination]] as Nidoqueen.
* Its cry sounds similar to that of {{p|Lapras}}'s.
* In the Japanese games {{game|Red and Green|s}}, Nidoqueen [[List of Pokémon by weight|weighs]] 6.0&nbsp;kg instead of 60.0&nbsp;kg (as it does in all other games). This has no mechanical significance, as no game mechanics use weight in the handheld [[Generation I]] games.
* Prior to [[Generation IV]], Nidoqueen was depicted in the games and official artwork as having fangs. Why her fangs were removed in later generations is unknown.


===Origin===
===Origin===
It shares traits of rhinoceroses, gorillas, rabbits and porcupines.
Nidoqueen shares traits of {{wp|rhinoceros}}es, {{wp|gorilla}}s, {{wp|rabbit}}s, {{wp|Mouse|mice}}, and {{wp|porcupine}}s. The coverings on its chest and its lower abdomen collectively resemble a two-piece {{wp|bikini}}.


====Name origin====
====Name origin====
Nidoqueen's name may be based on the word ''needle''. It may also be based on ''{{wp|cnidocyte}}'', a type of venomous cell responsible for the stings delivered by stinging animals, most notably, by jellyfish. Alternatively, it may be based on 二 ''ni'', two, or 二度 ''nido'', two times/two degrees, referring to there being two distinct evolutionary lines using the name with similar names and traits. The second part of its name is ''{{wp|queen}}'', the English word for a female monarch.
Nidoqueen may be a combination of ''needle'' and ''{{wp|queen}}'' (reflective of its gender and being the final evolution). ''Nido'' may also be based on ''{{wp|cnidocyte}}'', a type of venomous cell responsible for the stings delivered by stinging animals, most notably by {{wp|jellyfish}}. Alternatively, it may be based on 二 ''ni'' (two) or 二度 ''nido'' (two times/two degrees), referring to there being two distinct evolutionary lines using the name with similar names and traits.
