Totodile is a Water-type Pokémon introduced in Generation II. It is a bipedal, crocodilian creature with well-developed jaws and a playful yet rough nature. Totodile has red eyes with ridges above them, black markings around its eyes, and several sharp teeth. Its chest features a yellow, V-shaped marking that extends to its arms. Despite its small size, Totodile's jaws are incredibly powerful and capable of crushing almost anything. This Big Jaw Pokémon has a habit of biting everything it sees, including its own Trainer, which can sometimes lead to serious injuries. Totodile is known for its energetic and mischievous personality, often seen as playful but potentially dangerous due to its strong bite.

Habits and Additions Across Generations
In Pokémon Sleep, it was revealed that Totodile and its evolutions practice unihemispheric sleep, resting only half of their brain at a time and sleeping with one eye open. This behavior is believed to be a defense mechanism against potential threats. Totodile is rarely found in the wild but can occasionally be spotted near bodies of water such as rivers, ponds, and lakes. In recent games, it has been seen living in the Terarium of Blueberry Academy.
