Croconaw is based on a {{wp|crocodilia}}n, perhaps specifically the ''{{wp|Boverisuchus}}'', an extinct crocodilian that was believed to be partially bipedal, sprinting on two legs to catch prey. Its head spikes and chest patterns seem to be based on the wild hair and animal-skin cloth worn by {{wp|caveman|cavemen}}.
