>>45334426ah yes Toxycroak is my favorite newt/salamander mon, he's not fat, nor is he covered in warths or has a wide face!
I could give people the gills but it looks more like a decoration thing than anything, like Verizion for example, do deer have gills?
>>45334588>how is it a remnant maybe the fact that it's still just a small spike, if it was a real salamander it would've grown much more like Quagsire's or Charizard's tail
Besides the way it's attached to the body is like a belt which makes it more like an extra detail to give it a more punk look
>long skinny bodygreninja already exists
>sucker toadbecause it's one of those humanoid designs, just like Obstagoon, last time i checked badgers don't have human legs, also there's no webbing on other frog/toad pokemon, it's just a simplification
>gills see above
>salamanders/newts are known to be poisonous toosame thing for certain species of frogs/toads... or venomous i don't remember, not like it matters with the context of pokemon anyway
No matter how hard you try, logic always prevails
