Although small, its venomous barbs render this Pokémon dangerous. The female has smaller horns.
A mild-mannered Pokémon that does not like to fight. Beware, its small horns secrete venom.
The poison hidden in its small horn is extremely potent. Even a tiny scratch can have fatal results.
Although not very combative, it will torment its foes with poison spikes if it is threatened in any way.
Small, and very docile, it protects itself with its small, poisonous horn when attacked.

Nidoran♀ is a small, rabbit-based Pokémon with large ears, whiskers, and front teeth. They are covered with small spines primarily on their back which can release potent poisons if Nidoran♀ is threatened. Nidoran♀ doesn't seem to possess any fur, similar to reptiles. Nidoran♀ have a smaller forehead horn than their male counterparts, Nidoran♂.
Nidoran♀ usually attacks by clawing, and biting her foes. She also has the aforementioned ability to secrete poison from her small spikes. Nidoran♀ can also wield a couple of Ice, and Electric attacks.
Nidoran♀ are known to be rather docile, and reserved. However, angering one can result in being poisoned by one of its toxic spines. These are thought to have developed to counteract its small size.
All members of the Nidoran family can sometimes put a stronger effort in battle when faced with a foe of the same gender.
Nidoran♀ live in expansive savannas, and plains, or any open space.
(Unconfirmed!)
Nidoran♀ appears to be based on a rabbit or mouse, or even a hamster.
Nidoran♀'s name may be based on the word "needle." Alternatively, it may be based on "二 ni," "two," or "二度 nido," "two times/two degrees," referring to there being two distinct evolutionary lines with similar names, and traits. The ♀ in its name is an indication of its female gender.
