Croagunk (5e Race)

Croagunk

Physical Description

A croagunk Source

Croagunk is a dark blue, bipedal Pokémon that resembles a poison dart frog. It has yellow eyes, which are surrounded by black markings. There are orange, expandable pouches on its cheeks, and its teeth are wide and flat. A black marking encircles its upper arms and chest, and there are white bands around its chest. The white markings are slightly higher up on the female croagunk than the male. It has three fingers and toes, most of which are black. The only digits that are not black are its center fingers, which are orange instead.

Some specimens have been found to be turquoise instead of dark blue, as well as having reddish-purple instead of orange.

History

These frogs were found in Sinnoh's Great Marsh and are the mascot of Pastoria city. Croagunk's cheek pouches and fingers contain a poisonous fluid. However, the fluid squeezed from its finger is also a significant ingredient in remedies for lower back pain. The cheek pouches can be used to create an unnerving sound. When its opponents are distracted, it tries to stab them with its fingers. Despite this, it is a mild Pokémon, fighting only to ensure its own survival.

Society

Though they mainly fight for survival, it is known to get into groups and croak out an unknown yet kinda eerie song which has yet to be deciphered to figure out its meaning, though they seem to croak more during a full moon.

Croagunk Names

They usually have music or, considered underhanded, weapon names. (dart, clef, etc.).
