Toedscruel (Japanese: リククラゲ Rikukurage) is a dual-type Ground/Grass Pokémon introduced in Generation IX.
It evolves from Toedscool starting at level 30.
Biology
Toedscruel is a large mushroom-like Pokémon whose physical appearance heavily resembles Tentacruel. Its upper body resembles a mushroom cap and is black in color, with three circular pink protrusions on top; one of these protrusions is much smaller than the others and sits in the front and center of the cap. The rim on Toedscruel's cap is beige in color and has multiple folds, and serves as a popular food item. Below Toedscruel's cap is its beige-colored lower body, which contains two slanted eyes, a black tube-like mouth with yellow lips, and 10 tentacles resembling mycelium. The tentacles are beige on top and yellow at the bottom. Toedscruel eats by wrapping prey with its tentacles and sucking out their nutrients, which causes the prey pain. Toedscruel form colonies deep within forests, and they do not appreciate incoming strangers.

Trivia
Origin
Toedscruel appears to be based on mushrooms — specifically a wood ear mushroom, known as キクラゲ kikurage (lit. "tree jellyfish") in Japan, hence its similarities to the jellyfish-based Tentacruel. The fact that it physically resembles Tentacruel may also be a reference to convergent evolution or parallel evolution, which can lead to separate organisms independently developing similar or identical characteristics and body plans.
Name origin
Toedscruel may be a combination of toadstool (another name for mushroom), toed (having toes), and Tentacruel.
Rikukurage may be a combination of 陸 riku (land) and ドククラゲ Dokukurage (Tentacruel).
