No. 453: Croagunk

At one point someone told me Amazon natives used to poison their arrows with poison dart frogs. I imagined they just stuck the frog on the end of the arrow and let it fly, but apparently they just dip the arrows in the frog's poison. oh well.


Now, here's a dude with a design one might call "messy", with bands and colors splotches galore. However, he's based on the Poison Arrow frog, which really is as gaudy as all that, so it totally makes sense! No complaints here.

The big red middle finger is kinda worrying, though. It makes me wonder where it's been. Maybe he just uses it to flip the bird something fierce, a blazing crimson bird that sends a message of "piss off" for all to see. I also like his compact body shape, it lends some credibility to him being a fighting type.

All in all, he's a cool little duder who looks like he's already laughing to himself at how bad he's going to beat your ass. Either that, or he's high as a kite.


Overall: 8/10

  1. I always thought he flipped the bird so hard that his opponents died from the shock and all the red color is whats left.
