'''Wooper''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ウパー''' ''Upah'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Ground}} Pokémon.<br />
<br />
It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Quagsire}} starting at [[level]] 20.<br />
<br />
==Biology==<br />
===Physiology===<br />
Wooper is a mostly blue amphibious Pokémon that bears a resemblance to a real-life salamander known as an {{wp|axolotl}}. Wooper stands upright on its small, round feet, and has a large, thick tail. Wooper also has purple-colored, branching gills coming out of the sides of its head, and what look like dark-blue, curved gill-like markings on its torso. Wooper’s head is large compared to its body, its mouth is wide and its eyes are small, round, and black in coloration.<br />
<br />
====Gender differences====<br />
Female Wooper have smaller gills on the sides of their heads.<br />
<br />
===Special abilities===<br />
Being a dual Water-and-Ground-type Pokémon, Wooper is able to use moves of both types, such as {{m|Water Gun}} and various mud-based attacks. The film covering Wooper’s body when it walks on land is also poisonous, and can cause a shooting pain if touched barehanded. Wooper also have the ability to restore health if struck by a Water-type attack.<br />
<br />
===Behavior===<br />
Wooper tend to be dull-witted Pokémon as implied in ''[[Trouble in Big Town]]''. They tend to be oblivious to their surroundings. They also share this trait with their evolution {{p|Quagsire}}. Wooper lives in cold water most of the time, but it will on occasion leave the water to search for food when the temperature cools in the evening. While walking on land, it coats its body with a slimy, toxic film that keeps its skin from dehydrating and insulates itself against the cold. In the water, Wooper partially buries itself in the mud at the bottom to sleep.<br />
<br />
===Habitat===<br />

[[File:Pokémon mini Wooper Blue boxart.jpg|right|thumb|100px|right|A Wooper Blue [[Pokémon mini]]]]<br />
* Although Wooper has no arms, it can still learn {{m|Ice Punch}}.<br />
** However, its {{p|Quagsire|evolution}} does have arms.<br />
* The blue [[Pokémon mini]] was modeled after Wooper.<br />
* Wooper was one of the first Pokémon to have its [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|gender differences]] revealed, along with {{p|Scizor}}.<br />
*A trainer named Roxy appears in Pokemon Platinum with a Wooper on her team. This is a nod to Pokemon Crystal LP done by Chorocojo. <br />

===Origin===<br />
{{bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Wooper}}<br />
Wooper seems to be based on a larval {{wp|axolotl}}, which have flat tails and feathery, external gills. Its {{Shiny}} sprite also matches its color to that of a larval or {{wp|albino}}/{{wp|leucistic}} axolotl.<br />
<br />
====Name origin====<br />
Wooper and Upa are derived from ''wooper looper'', a marketing term created in Japan that started a pet salamander raising fad. Wooper loopers are the Japanese term for the larval stages of the {{wp|axolotl}}, a species of {{wp|salamander}}.<br />
