Krokorok seems to be based on | Krokorok seems to be based on a {{wp|crocodile}}, more specifically a {{wp|Mecistops|slender-snouted crocodile}} and the {{wp|spectacled caiman}}. Like its evolved form, it could also be based on the ''{{wp|Baryonyx}}'', a fish-eating, slender-snouted dinosaur which heavily resembled a {{wp|crocodilia}}n, or the ''{{wp|Boverisuchus}}'', a terrestrial crocodilian that was believed to be partially bipedal, sprinting on two legs to catch prey. Its eyes, pose, and stripes make it appear to be a criminal, which is supported by its {{t|Dark}} type. It could also be a reference to {{wp|Sobek}}, a half-crocodile deity also associated with violence and even robbery. | ||
