#455 Carnivine
“Carnivine (Japanese: マスキッパ Muskippa) is a Grass-type Pokémon introduced in Generation IV.
It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.
Carnivine is a green plant-like Pokémon resembling a Venus flytrap. Its circular eyes have small pupils, and it has spiky teeth. Its stem is yellow with green spots, with red and green vines beneath with the appearance of tentacles. It has two arms resembling leaves with three leafy ‘fingers’ each.
Carnivine is very gluttonous, and is known to have an unruly temper. It is capable of hanging from tree branches using its vines, while its mouth can open to about 180 degrees wide. With its mouth wide open, Carnivine attracts the prey it waits for with sweet-smelling saliva, then chomps down. However, it takes a whole day to eat prey. Carnivine’s diet consists mostly of insects and small bugs. It lives in forests and marshes.
Carnivine may be a combination of carnivore and vine.
Muskippa may be a combination of Dionaea muscipula (scientific name of Venus flytrap) and 空きっ腹 sukippara (empty stomach) or すきっ歯 sukippa (gap between the teeth).”-Bulbapedia.
