12. Mudkip
The Mudkip is very cute and it resembles the Axolotl. The axolotl is a salamander that as they grow would get stuck in its larva stage and never grows into a full adult. They also have a good regenerating ability that they could regrow any part of their body if they for whatever reason get amputated with a full functioning new part.
11. Krookodile
This one is pretty obvious. Unless you are not familiar with the English language, this Pokemon is based of a crocodile. Specifically a crocodile called the Gharial. The gharial are native to the northern part of India. It has a long and thin snout that is adapted to catch fish. Bonus Pokemon! Trubbish! It is seriously just an overflowing bag of rubbish. I know its not a living being but I just find this one interesting and funny that I just had to give it an honorable mention.
10. Victreebel
Another plant that exists in real life and is also a carnivorous plant called the pitcher plant. The pitcher plant has an intricate trap system to trap unsuspecting insects inside its hollow tube that either has downward pointing hairs or even waxy scales to stop insects from escaping. Finally eating the insects by melting it and absorbing it for nutrients.
9. Vileplume
The Vileplume looks like a cute flower but its real life counterpart is the Rafflesia Arnoldii. The Rafflesia Arnoldii is one of the largest carnivorous flower in the world. The other name for the flower is corpse flower, this is because its color and smell resembles rotting flesh which is used to attract flies for it to eat.
