===Origin===
Stunky is based on a {{wp|skunk}}, likely a {{wp|hog-nosed skunk}}. It also bears a resemblance to a {{wp|cat}} of some sort, which is fitting as baby skunks are called kits or kittens. Given that both its Japanese name and its cry make reference to flatulence, it is likely that its face is based on the form of the buttocks. Its learning Self-Destruction as well as its ability Aftermath is likely derived from skunks releasing all of their musk at once if hit by moving cars.
