Trivia
- The design on Croconaw's belly reverses direction in the Generation III sprites and onward.
- 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 it may also involve "maw", whereas its Japanese name is based on alligator.
