Nidoking is a male-only, two-legged Pokémon that is based believed to be based on the fictional character Baragon, but also bears resemblance to a rhinoceros. It is purple in colour apart from its white belly and blue inner ears. Its body and limbs are muscular, with thick plates at its knees. A single horn projects from its forehead while a line of inverted V projections run down its back. It has a segmented tail which stretches out behind. When it goes on a rampage, it’s impossible to control. But in the presence of a Nidoqueen it’s lived with for a long time, Nidoking calms down.
