Biology

Physiology

It has a spherical, mauve-colored body with two stubby arms. Its ears are long and rabbit-like with yellow tips, and it has a small, plug-like tail with a yellow crescent marking above it at its back. Whismur appears to have three holes, one beneath each of its ears and one on its tail.

Gender differences

None.

Special abilities

Due to breathing through its ear canals, it has no need to breathe and thus can cry continually. For this reason, it stops screaming if its ear covers are shut.

Behavior

Normally Whismur make murmurs that are only barely audible, but Whismur are scared very easily, and often use their shrill cries to try and scare off other wild Pokémon. And once it screams, its cries scare it into crying harder, eventually exhausting itself to sleep.

Habitat

Whismur like tall grass, but prefer caves like the Desert Underpass and the Rusturf Tunnel.

Trivia

• Whismur's tail resembles an input or output port on an electronic amplifier. This could be a reference to the extremely loud voice Whismur uses when it is frightened.

Origin

Whismur is based on a rabbit or a stuffed animal, and its ears resemble earmuffs which are used to protect one's ears against loud noises.

Name origin

Whismur's name is based on whisper and murmur, both of which mean speaking in a very soft voice.

Gonyonyo is based on ごにょごにょ gonyogonyo, the sound of mumbling, murmuring, or whispering.
