Croconaw (Japanese: アリゲイツ Alligates) is a Template:Type2 Pokémon.
It evolves from Totodile starting at level 18 and evolves into Feraligatr starting at level 30.
Biology
Physiology
Croconaw are medium-sized, crocodile-like reptilian Pokémon, mostly blue in coloration with accentuations of yellow and black eye markings. Croconaw has three clusters of red spikes on their body, one with three prongs on its head like a crest, one with two prongs on its back, and one diamond-shaped spike on its tail. Croconaw has a set of pronounced, yellow-colored jaws, and although Croconaw has been described as always having forty-eight fangs lining its mouth, only six are discernible, with only four visible when the mouth is closed. They possess an asymmetrical, yellow-colored pattern on their chests that somewhat resembles a spotted animal skin.
Gender differences
None.
Special abilities
Along with the usual Template:Type2 abilities, their powerful jaws are capable of regrowing fangs that are lost, and their teeth are positioned like a barbed fishing hook, making them impossible to pull out with ordinary strength.

Trivia
- The design on Croconaw's belly reverses direction in the Generation III sprites and onward. The pattern on the back sprite, however, is the same in every generation that Croconaw is present.
- Not counting starters in spin-off games, Croconaw evolves faster than any other Water-type starter (evolving at level 30). In fact, it is also the fastest starter to reach its final stage, Feraligatr.
- In Generation II, Croconaw had a spike that curved back like hair on its head, this was corrected in Crystal.
Origin
This species of Pokémon is based on crocodylians. Also, the head spikes and the pattern on the chest seem to be based on the wild hair and animal-skin cloth worn by a caveman.
Name origin
Croconaw's name is a combination of crocodile and gnaw, though it may also involve "maw". Its Japanese name is based on alligator.
In other languages
- German: Tyracroc - Possibly a portmanteau of Tyrann (tyrant) and Krokodil (crocodile).
- French: Crocrodil - From crocodile.
- Korean: 엘리게이 Elligei
- Chinese (Taiwan): 藍鱷 Lán È - Literally "Blue crocodilian".
