### Pokédex Entry (Character Bio)

Whirlpool's power/type is **Water**. He's a 1930s' cartoony styled character, the most noticeable example being *Mickey Mouse*. He's always seen doing the typical 1930s' dancing animation which involves him squatting up and down rhythmically whilst his hands and arms are on the side of his body. He even does this unique old-styled dance while walking and doing nearly every activity. This, combined with the fact that he rarely speaks can easily creep out other characters around him. No one generally knows why Whirlpool's like this, they just presume he's fascinated with old-styled animation. But, at some point this dancing can become annoying as he's usually always sighted by others doing this weird dance, and when handed tasks by others he still does the dancing, which could lead to mistakes. If the task he was ordered was an important one, things could go wrong. Whirlpool, being an amphibian frog-like Pokémon of course consumes most of his time in ponds and lakes where he swims around. Strangely, Whirlpool is shown to even dance underwater, he's also a coward and anything can easily frighten him, in which he swings his hands around and moves uncontrollably, causing a whirlpool to form which could kill others and cause major destruction.

He especially needs to be around water as real-life frogs need water since they breathe through their skin, and if it dries up this will disable them from breathing, leading to life threatening risks. Whenever Whirlpool exits watery areas, he has the ability to leak some sort of watery oil-like liquid from his body, thus, moistening his skin and keeping him safe, however due to this he could actually form puddles on the ground bellow him and slip on them, where he could cause injuries, deaths and destruction. Whirlpool is very unique, and even behaves like some sort of cartoon character from old-styled animation such as having a curious personality, being looney and especially being a coward. Nearly anything can scare Whirlpool, whenever he does get scared he tends to leak the mentioned earlier liquid from his body, which resembles sweating, it also forms a puddle on the ground, that obviously resembles him micturating from fear. He's shown to be good friends with Waggles the Poliwag and Bluejacket the Poliwrath. Whirlpool is all-the-while kind and nice, though is a major coward and a little weird to other characters.

## Trivia

* The idea of him being a 1930s' styled cartoon character stems from *Poliwhirl* wearing white gloves, which looks identical to the gloves cartoon characters from that era wore such as *Mickey Mouse* and *Bugs Bunny*.
* Despite not having a visible mouth, he still somehow speaks. It's assumed he does have a mouth, it's just on the top of the white circular mark on his face, it just can't be seen since his mouth is shut.
* When he uses his *Water Gun* attack, it actually blasts out from the center of the spiral on his face, which is unusual by itself.
* He earns his name due to *Poliwhirl* having the word "whirl" it it's name, especially because he can form whirlpools and since they're related to water.
* His voice is described to sound a little deep, but also a little squeaky, he also talks in a timid, cowardly manner which makes up for his personality.
* His deaths involving his stomach is actually meant to resemble the swirls on his stomach, which is basically just his guts showing through his skin.
