Krookodile (Japanese: ワルビアル, Hepburn: Warubiaru) (KROOK-oh-dyle) is a Ground/Dark-type Pokémon introduced in Generation V.

Biology

Physiology

Krookodile is a large, bulky reptilian crocodile-like Pokémon. Its body is mainly brick-red in color, and covered in black stripes with pointed ends; it has a round gray belly. It has considerably large and razor-sharp teeth and claws. Around its eyes, there is a black patch resembling a bandit's mask, or a stylized pair of sunglasses. It somewhat resembles the dinosaur Baryonyx.

Behavior

Krookodile is known as the Bully of the Sands. While aggressive by nature, Krookodile is patient enough to bury itself underneath the sand and wait for prey to pass by. Its jaws boasts immense strength and can rip through a large car and heavy iron plates. Once Krookodile latches onto its prey with a jaw lock, it will not let go. Krookodile always cooperate with Flygon during hunts, using Flygon's sand storm as cover to ambush prey. Its eyes can be used as binoculars; Krookodile uses this ability to detect objects and potential prey from afar.

Evolution

Krookodile is final evolution of Sandile, and evolved from Krokorok as of level 40.

• Nanu's Krookodile

Trivia

• No other Pokémon has same type matchup of Ground/Dark-type except for Krookodile and it's pre-evolutions.
• Krookodile shares some similarities with Feraligatr. Both are crocodilian Pokémon, are part of a three-stage evolutionary line, and rely mostly on physical attacks rather than special-based ones.

Origin

Krookodile appears to be based on both that of a crocodile, a Baryonyx (a dinosaur that resembles a crocodile), and a gharial (a long-snouted crocodilian). It may also be a play on the mugger crocodile, as Krookodile also shares traits with robbers such as its black eye markings resembling an eye mask and it having stripes similar to prison outfits in media. It may also be based on Sobek, an ancient Egyptian deity associated with thievery. Its black eye markings also resemble triangular sunglasses, which are often worn by delinquents and criminals in Japanese anime and manga.

Etymology

Krookodile comes from crook (a villainous person), and crocodile. It is also nearly identical to the German name of the animal, krokodile.

Its Japanese name, Warubiaru, comes from 悪い warui (evil) and gavial (another name for the gharial).
