"When Feraligatr mega evolves, it gains a large red dorsal fin on its back that, when combined with the new spikes on its arms, creates what resembles a giant Totodile mascot head. A lot of Mega Evolutions have elements of a Pokémon's previous evolutions, like Mega Raichu's fur reverting to Pikachu's signature yellow or Mega Chimecho growing a massive Chingling-shaped ornament."
"Mega Feraligatr's big Totodile head is one of the most extreme examples of a Mega Evolution following this design philosophy. However, it ends up looking absurd because the giant fin on Feraligatr's back stays flipped open like a toilet lid. According to the Pokédex, this giant Totodile mask can bite down 10 times harder than Feraligatr's actual jaw, so it makes sense that the water dragon would keep its fake jaw as extended as possible until it attacks."
The new line of Mega Evolutions contains both standout successes and divisive designs. Mega Feraligatr's Mega Evolution adds a large red dorsal fin and new arm spikes that combine to form a giant Totodile-like mascot head. Many Mega Evolutions incorporate elements of previous evolutionary forms, often exaggerating features back into earlier stages. The oversized Totodile head on Mega Feraligatr appears absurd because the dorsal fin remains flipped open like a toilet lid, creating an awkward silhouette. The Pokédex notes the Totodile mask bites ten times harder than Feraligatr's jaw, which explains its extended posture until attacking. Fan artists and animators show that lowering the hood significantly enhances the design.
