Yeah Wooper was based on a Axolotl. As where several other Pokémon.

Edit: I meant several other Pokémon where based on real animals, not multiple where based on Axolotl's haha!

I thought mudkip was loosely based on a mudskipper and an axolotl as well. I could be wrong though. Cute pic, by the way!!

Did a quick search at the Pokémon encyclopedia:


Bulbapedia Wiki: Mudkip

Origin: This Pokémon is based on the mudpuppy or mudskipper, or also possibly an axolotl.

Name origin: Mudkip is a combination of mud and skip, or it may be a shortening of mudskipper. Mizugorou may be a combination of 水 mizu (water) and ムツゴロウ mutsugorō (mudskipper).
