Dewgong (Japanese: ジュゴン Jugon) is a dual-type Water/Ice Pokémon introduced in Generation I.
It evolves from Seel starting at level 34.
Biology
Dewgong is a pinniped Pokémon with a snowy white, furry body. Its fur renders it virtually invisible in snowy conditions. Its face has two black eyes, a black nose, and two tusks extending from its upper jaw. It has a streamlined body with two front flippers and a long flowing tail. Even in extremely cold and ice-packed waters, its tail allows it to be a swift and agile swimmer at speeds of 8 knots. On top of its head is a sharp horn, which allows it to cut through the thickest ice floes.
It lives on icebergs adrift in frigid ocean waters. It thrives in lower temperatures, becoming increasingly more active the colder the weather. By storing thermal energy within its body, it is completely unharmed by even the most intense freezing weather. During daylight hours, it sleeps on bitterly cold ice or under shallow water. However, at night when the temperature drops, it becomes a hunter and searches for prey such as Wishiwashi. Following a meal, it sunbathes on the beach. This raises its body temperature and aids in digestion.

Trivia
- In the Pokémon Red and Blue beta, Dewgong was originally known as "Manaty".
- Dewgong shares its category with Seel and Popplio. They are all known as the Sea Lion Pokémon.
Origin
Dewgong, as its name implies, seems to be based on a dugong, sightings of which are thought to be the origin of the mythical mermaid. Although all current members of Sirenia inhabit warm waters, the extinct Steller's sea cow once inhabited the cold waters of the Bering Sea, which may explain Dewgong's Ice-type. It also shares characteristics with various aquatic mammals that live in the Arctic Ocean. Its face and white fur are similar to a harp seal pup. Its long, white body is similar to a beluga whale. Its horn may be inspired by a narwhal, and its tusks may be inspired by a walrus.
Name origin
Dewgong may be a portmanteau of dew (water droplets condensing on a cold surface) and dugong.
Jugon may be a corruption of dugong.
