Biology

Wooper is a blue Pokémon that resembles an axolotl with two legs and no arms. It has a flat, oval-shaped tail, external gills, three curved lines on its stomach, and gills protruding from its head. Female Wooper have shorter gills. Wooper evolves into Quagsire.

Design & origin

Wooper's name comes from the term "wooper looper", a term coined in Japanese for pet axolotls. In the beta of Gold and Silver, Wooper had a much larger, chubbier design and walked on all fours.

Forms

Paldean Wooper

Paldean Wooper has brown skin, a stomach pattern resembling a rib cage, and gills that make its head resemble a skull and crossbones. Instead of Quagsire, it evolves into Clodsire, a different Pokémon that greatly resembles Quagsire.
