Biology

Physiology

Crawdaunt are large crustacean Pokémon. They have three pairs of limbs in total: two claws, one pair of legs that resembles Corphish's and a back pair that looks almost elephantine. They possess two blue stripes on their chin that are sometimes mistaken for a pair of lips. On the top of their head is a yellow star-shaped object, the purpose of which is currently not known. It may just be there for show.

Gender differences

Trivia

• Crawdaunt's original name was Lobstar, referring to the star on its head and the word lobster.
• To date, Crawdaunt is the only Pokémon with a catch rate of 155.

Origin

Crawdaunt's name suggests it is based on a red swamp crayfish. However, its size and dark type would suggest it based on a larger, more powerful type of creature, a lobster.

Name origin

Crawdaunt's name is a pun on crawdad, an alternate name for a crayfish. It is also in combination with daunt, to cause to lose courage. Its Japanese name is based on シザー shizā, scissors, and ザリガニ zarigani, crayfish.

In other languages

• German: Krebutack - From Krabben (crab) and attack.
• French: Colhomard
• Korean: 가재장군 Gajaejanggun
