Feraligatr are big, bulky Pokémon, more used for swimming than for walking on land. When this Pokémon does venture out of water, it crawls on all fours in order to move faster. However, when they are hunting or fighting, they are surprisingly agile and fast. The fact that Feraligatr are cold-blooded Pokémon means that they need to be where they can adjust their body temperatures accordingly. Feraligatr have large, powerful jaws which are able to cause heavy damage. Feraligatr also have large scales on it's arms, tail, and legs, the latter of which give the appearance of pockets.

Special abilities
Feraligatr's jaws have the ability to lock in place like its pre-evolutions. In combination with their sheer muscle power, this ability can cause massive damage to a Pokémon.
Feraligatr are card-carrying carnivores. Their preferred hunting method is to hide underwater with only eyes and nostrils above the surface, waiting for prey to come to the water's edge. They attack with a sudden burst of speed and clamp their powerful jaws down on a surprised victim before it has time to react. Once the Feraligatr bites it will lock its jaws, and the prey will be secured. Then, the Feraligatr will violently shake its head and begin to tear off chunks of its prey to swallow.
Feraligatr intimidates its foes by opening its huge mouth. In battle, it will kick the ground hard with its thick and powerful hind legs to charge at the foe at an incredible speed.

Feraligatr is the tallest final form of a starter Pokémon standing an a impressive 7 feet and 7 inches (2.3 meters).
Feraligatr is also the starter that reaches its final form the earliest, doing so at level 30. Coindcidentally, Totodile evolves into its secondary form, Croconaw, at Level 18, the lastest of any Starter Pokémon, tied with Turtwig into Grotle.
Feraligatr is also the heaviest fully evolved Template:Type2 starter.
In Gold and Silver, Feraligatr's skin was dark green. It was changed to blue in Pokémon Crystal and remained the same in later versions.
The lack of a vowel between the T and R in Feraligatr is due to the ten character limit on Pokémon names, which also affects Victreebel.
Most Pokémon have nearly-indentical back sprites in Generations II and III, but Feraligatr is one of the few Pokémon where that is not the case.
Feraligatr's cry sounds somewhat similar to it's name.
Feraligatr draws its name from a combination of feral and alligator. Its Japanese name may contain 王 ō, king, 皇 ō, emperor, or 大 ō, large, and dile is a reference to crocodiles.
In other languages
German: Impergator - Combination of imperial and alligator.
