Trivia

Wooper has many similarites with Shellos. They both evolve just once, can be both blue and pink and when they do evolve they are water and ground type.

Origin

Wooper seems to be based on a larval axoltl, which have flat tails and feathery, external gills.

Name origin

Wooper's English name appears to be based directly on its Japanese name, Upah/"Wooper". Upa is drived from "Wooper Looper", a marketing term created in Japan that started a pet salamander raising fad in Japan. Wooper Loopers (or "Upa") are the Japanese term for the larval stages of the axolotl, a species of salamander.
