Wooper (ウパー Upaa in Japan, Felino in Germany and Axoloto in France) is a fictional character from the Pokémon franchise. It is a Water/Ground Pokémon that was introduced in the Pokémon Gold and Silver video games.

Wooper's name is derived directly from its Japanese name, Upaa. This came from ウーパールーパー (Uupaaruupaa, Ambystoma mexicanum) due to the sound of its cries. Also, an upa is the Japanese term for the larval stage of the axolotl, a species of salamander.

Biology

Wooper is an axolotl-like Pokémon that lives in cold water. They will only leave the water to search for food when it is cold outside. At times when it walks on the ground, it coats its body with a slimy poisonous film. Touching this barehandedly will cause a shooting pain.

In Pokémon Gold and Silver, Wooper can be found on Route 32 at Night. In Pokémon Crystal, it can additionally be found in the Union Cave and outside the Ruins of Alph at Night.
