Origin

Wooper seems to be based on a larval axolotl, 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.

In other languages

• German: Felino
• French: Axoloto - From axolotl.
• Korean: 우파 Upa
