~Description and Summary~
┗━━━━━━━━━━━┛
Description:
Sucholumbric is a large worm-like pokemon, Its long body is maroon in color with brown segments and three rock-like Citellium behind its head, as well as one that encircles it lower body. Its has a large false head which resembles the pokemon Krookodile that conceals and protects its true head. It true head is rounded and is also maroon with a brown face, as well as large, orange eyes and a jagged smile.

Summary:
These pokemon mimic the appearance of the pokemon Krookodile as a means of Intimidating foes. They have grown to be just as aggressive as the pokemon they mimic. Despite their mimicry being able to fend off most other pokemon, It ironically does not fool real Krookodile. These pokemon stalk their prey under the sand. Once close enough, they incapacitate them with their corrosive acid. When an actual Krookodile is spotted, a huge fight ensues, the loser will become the winner's meal.

~Design Origin~
┗━━━━━━━━━━━┛
Like it's pre evolution, Sucholumbric is based on South Africa Earthworm, The Mongolian Death Worm, Batesian Mimicry, The Etymology of the Scientific name for crocodiles translating to "Worm of the stones".

However, Theres more. The croc part of Sucholumbric's design draws design inspiration from Sarchosuchus, a giant crocodylimorph that lived in what is now Africa and South America in the Early Cretaceous period 133-112 million years ago.

And the Dragon type on Sucholumbric is not only a reference to the Draconic Wyrms of European myth, it's also a reference to the fact that many myths of Dragons in various myths are inspired by Crocodilians.

~Name Origin~
┗━━━━━━━━━━━┛
Sucholumbric is a combination of "Souchos" the Greek name for the Egyptian crocodile god Sobek and is often used when describing Crocodiles, and "Lumbricus" the Genus that includes Earthworms. Its Japanese name Suchomaryu is a combination of "Souchos", and the Japanese words "Ayamari"(False) and "Ryu"(Dragon).
