SLOW-poke
Incredibly slow, and dopey. It takes 5 seconds for it to feel pain when under attack.
Incredibly slow, and sluggish. It is quite content to loll about without worrying about the time.
It lazes vacantly near water. If something bites its tail, it won't even notice for a whole day.
A sweet sap leaks from its tail's tip. Although not nutritious, the tail is pleasant to chew on.
It is always so absent-minded that it won't react, even if its flavorful tail is bitten.

Slowpoke are large pink creatures which resemble a cross between a salamander, and a hippopotamus. Their tails grow lighter towards the tip, and they have tan muzzles.
Slowpoke have unusual tails which drip a sweet-tasting sappy substance. This substance is attractive to many species of fish, and can be used as a lure. Unfortunately, Slowpoke are extremely stupid, and tend to forget what they are doing.
Unlike most Water-type Pokémon, Slowpoke are capable of using Fire-type attacks, like Flamethrower.
Slowpoke are amphibious creatures of notoriously dim intellect. They take a long time to respond to outside stimuli, it takes as much as five seconds for it to process pain. Its tail is particularly numb to pain, it takes more than a day for it to feel when it has been bitten on its tail. Although they are generally seen as being extraordinarily stupid, they are very gentle, and caring, as well as skilled fishermen. Unfortunately, they are easily distracted, and forget what they were doing. Although many view Slowpoke as largely useless creatures, many folktales surround Slowpoke, including the belief that their yawns cause rain.
Slowpoke are commonly found at the water's edge.
Slowpoke uses its tail to catch prey by dipping it in water at the side of a river.
Slowpoke vaguely resembles a hippopotamus.
A slowpoke is simply a term for someone who is slow.
