Flavor Text

: Its hind feet are webbed, so it’s a strong swimmer. It can cross rivers and sometimes even oceans.
: Its disposition is far more violent than its looks would suggest. Don’t let your hand get too close to its face, as it could bite your hand clean off.
: People say that it fled from its enemies by using its small webbed hind feet to swim from island to island in Alola.
: Its whiskers are essential for maintaining its balance. No matter how friendly you are, it will get angry and bite you if you touch its whiskers.
: Its hind feet are webbed. They act as flippers, so it can swim in rivers and hunt for prey.
