Trivia
- The company logo for Daily Discovery depicts a silhouette of a lock of hair from Wooloo.
Origin
Wooloo is based on a sheep,[2] perhaps specifically black-faced breeds of domestic sheep like the Valais Blacknose. The shape of its wool resembles a cotton ball. The grey hair on the sides of its head appear to be stylized in form of braids.
In an interview with Inside.Gamer, Pokémon Sword and Shield director Shigeru Ohmori mentioned that one challenge present when designing Wooloo is the existence of Mareep, another Pokémon designed after sheep.[2]
Name origin
Wooloo may be a combination of wool and loom. It may also be derived from the Japanese name.
Wooluu may be derived from ウール ūru (wool) with the final vowel elongated.
