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 Nido 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.
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. It may also be based on "cnidocyte," a type of venomous cell responsible for the stings delivered by stinging animals, most notably, by jellyfish. The ♀ in its name is an indication of its female gender.
