Wooper (Japanese: ウパー Upah) is a dual-type Water/Ground Pokémon.

It evolves into Quagsire starting at level 20.

Biology

Wooper is a mostly blue, amphibious Pokémon that resembles an axolotl. Wooper's head is large compared to its body, and it has black eyes are small and round. It has purple, branching gills one the sides of the sides of its head. The gills are smaller on the female than on the male. Wooper stands upright on its small, round feet, and has a large, thick tail. On its belly are dark blue, curved markings.

Wooper tends to be a dull-witted Pokémon oblivious to its surroundings, as implied in the anime. Wooper lives in cold water most of the time. When sleeping, it partially buries itself in the mud at the bottom. It will occasionally leave the water when the air cools in the evening to search for food along the shore. While walking on land, it coats its body with a slimy, toxic film that keeps its skin from dehydrating and insulates against the cold. The film causes a shooting pain if touched barehanded.

Bulbanews has an article related to this subject:
