Its Japanese name comes from the [[nudibranch]] [[gastropod]] ''Tritonia Diomedea''.
<!--
Its name is derived from [[Gastropod]], a generic name for a creature of the slug family.
-->
==Biological characteristics==
Toritodon is based on a [[sea slug]]. It, along with its previous form, [[Shellos]], exists in two forms found in different parts of [[Sinnoh]]. Western Toritodon have [[bovine]]-like horns with [[saurian]] ridges on their backs, while eastern Toritodon have backward-pointing horns and lacy back ridges. Toritodon, like its pre-evolution, is an example of [[allopatric speciation]].

==In the video games==
Toritodon can have one of two abilities: the pre-existing Sticky Hold; and the new ability Storm Drain, which draws Water-type attacks to this Pokémon (a Water-type version of Lightningrod).

Toritodon is used by the Pokemon League Champion, Shirona, in the games. It is her lowest leveled Pokemon, at Level 60.
