Wild Caterpie

Caterpie may be based on a caterpillar of the Papilio genus, a caterpillar with a design that mimics large eyes like those of Caterpie and a pair of appendages on its head very similar to Caterpie's antennae, which Papilio usually display when threatened. It has small feet with suction cups at the ends that allow it to climb trees and walls without much effort. It is a fairly common Pokémon, especially in the Kanto region. Caterpie is a relatively weak Pokémon and as such has developed adaptations for its survival.

Its most notable feature is its bright red antennae on its head. These, along with its large eyes, help scare away predators. When touched, this Pokémon is capable of producing a substance that releases a stench from its antennae. Its body also ends in a tail shaped like an exclamation mark. They must be very fast, because if they are spotted by a Pidgey, it will not hesitate to hunt them down. Therefore, they must bury themselves underground to avoid being caught; only the slowest Caterpies fall prey to these Pokémon, which is why they are considered their archenemies.

Caterpies grow very quickly, so they eat voraciously to replenish their energy reserves, feeding on leaves, berries, and honey. Once they have completed their larval stage, they encase themselves in their own solidified saliva, entering a new stage called the pupa or cocoon, after which they evolve into a Metapod. Because they are easy to catch and develop quickly, they are ideal companions for less experienced trainers.
