Croagunk (Japanese: グレッグル Gureggru) is a Poison/Fighting-type Pokémon.

Biology

Physiology

Croagunk resembles a dark blue bipedal frog, with a white band around its waist area and red and black markings on its hands and feet. Its coloring and poisonous nature suggest that it is based on poison dart frogs. The markings on its body make it look like a Muay Thai fighter. The black around its eyes and the white bands make it look like an injured fighter with black eyes and broken ribs. Its cheeks are filled with a poison that runs to its fingers, allowing it to poison opponents by stabbing them.

Gender differences

The two white stripes that run across Croagunk's abdomen will be higher up if it is a female.

Origin

Croagunk may have been based on the poison dart frog.

Name origin

Croagunk is probably a combination of croak and gunk. The Japanese name comes kerokero, the Japanese onomatopoeia for a frog's croaking, and gerogero, the Japanese word that's used to describe something disgusting. Its German name, Glibunkel, comes from Glibber and Unke. Its French name, Cradopaud, comes from crapaud and crado, a familiar term for dirty.
