Trivia
- Drapion was designed by Kenkichi Toyama.
- Drapion and Skorupi are the only Generation IV Pokémon to have an insectoid body.
Origin
Drapion is based on a scorpion, and has some characteristics that resemble a vinegarroon (a similar arachnid). Its Water 3 Egg Group designation may be a reference to the ancient group of arthropods known as sea scorpions that used to inhabit the oceans and may have been the ancestors of modern scorpions.
Name origin
Drapion and Dorapion may be a combination of dragon, drastic (referring to its violent nature), or Dracula (referring to its huge vampire-looking teeth) and scorpion.
