1. Krokorok is a reptilian Pokemon with a mostly tan body, pink stomach, black back, and long tail.

2. It is classified as a quadruped, though it is more often seen on two legs.

3. It has six thick, black stripes on its body: one at shoulder level, one around its midsection, one around its hips, and three on its tail.

4. Each stripe is topped with a triangular spike on its back.

5. The stripes around its midsection cross two spikes, one on each side of its back.

6. Its arms are short and thin, with a black band around them at the elbow.

12. A black stripe sits on the bridge of the snout just behind its large nostrils.

13. Krokorok prefers to live in the desert, usually in small groups.

14. The black membrane surrounding its eyes protects them from sandstorms and acts as a thermal detector.

Like its pre-evolved form, it is also based on a crocodile, more specifically a slender-snouted crocodile and the spectacled caiman. Its eyes, pose, and stripes make it appear to be a criminal, which is supported by its Dark type. It could also be a reference to Sobek, a half-crocodile deity also associated with violence and even robbery.
