==Biology==
==Biology==
===Physiology===
Rufflet is a small avian Pokémon with a blue body. A large white plume of feathers covers its head and three tail feathers extend from its lower back. The feathery ruff extends down past its neck, covering the upper third of its body. Its face is blue with five pointed tips, resembling a mask and crown in contrast to the white feathers surrounding it. Extending from its forehead is a large feather, which is red on the lower half and white on the upper half. The split between the two colors on the feather resembles a zigzag pattern. Rufflet's beak is short and wide, with large eyes on either side. Each eye has a thick black iris with a small white pupil. Its yellow legs and feet are large in comparison to the body. Each foot has four digits: one backwards, and three forwards.
Washibon is an avian Pokémon that resembles an eagle chick. Its head has a thick covering of fuzzy white down and a grayish-blue face. A single red and white plume, which resembles an honor feather, extends from its forehead. Washibon's body and wings are the same shade of blue as its face, and both seem rather miniature compared to the size of its head. It has large yellow feet tipped with black talons, and its beak is also yellow. Washibon's tail is squared-off at the tip, and its coloration matches its downy head.
 
The thick, black talons on its feet are strong enough to break even the hardest of berries, and crack {{p|Shellder}} to consume their insides. Rufflet is extremely aggressive from birth and knowingly provokes opponents larger and more powerful than itself, including its own parent to gain acceptance. It sees this as a means of quickly getting stronger.

* Despite being the "Baby Eagle Pokémon", it is not a [[baby Pokémon]].


===Origin===
===Origin===
Washibon is based on an {{wp|eagle}} chick. The single plume on its head resembles an honor feather, such as those worn by {{wp|Plains Indians}}. This, in combination with its evolution's {{wp|war bonnet}}-like crest, suggests inspiration from {{wp|Indigenous peoples of the Americas|Native American}} warriors.
Rufflet, like Braviary, is based on the {{wp|bald eagle}}, specifically a baby eaglet most likely, paralleling Rufflet's position as the start of its evolutionary line. Its color scheme is inspired by the red, white, and blue of the {{wp|flag of the United States}}. The single plume on his head also derives from {{wp|Native American}} culture.<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20110402003550/http://shellspider.blog101.fc2.com/blog-entry-562.html Interview in Nintendo Dream Issue 205 (May 2011), via Fan blog post (Japanese)]</ref>
 
Its ability to use its talons to crack open nuts and feed itself in the anime is similar to that of {{wp|parrot}}s, who are the only known bird species to do so.

Rufflet (Japanese: ワシボン Washibon) is a dual-type Normal/Flying Pokémon introduced in Generation V.

It evolves into Braviary starting at level 54.

Biology

Rufflet is a small avian Pokémon with a blue body. A large white plume of feathers covers its head and three tail feathers extend from its lower back. The feathery ruff extends down past its neck, covering the upper third of its body. Its face is blue with five pointed tips, resembling a mask and crown in contrast to the white feathers surrounding it. Extending from its forehead is a large feather, which is red on the lower half and white on the upper half. The split between the two colors on the feather resembles a zigzag pattern. Rufflet's beak is short and wide, with large eyes on either side. Each eye has a thick black iris with a small white pupil. Its yellow legs and feet are large in comparison to the body. Each foot has four digits: one backwards, and three forwards.

The thick, black talons on its feet are strong enough to break even the hardest of berries, and crack Shellder to consume their insides. Rufflet is extremely aggressive from birth and knowingly provokes opponents larger and more powerful than itself, including its own parent to gain acceptance. It sees this as a means of quickly getting stronger.

Trivia

Origin

Rufflet, like Braviary, is based on the bald eagle, specifically a baby eaglet most likely, paralleling Rufflet's position as the start of its evolutionary line. Its color scheme is inspired by the red, white, and blue of the flag of the United States. The single plume on his head also derives from Native American culture.[1]

Its ability to use its talons to crack open nuts and feed itself in the anime is similar to that of parrots, who are the only known bird species to do so.

Name origin

Rufflet may be a combination of rough, ruff, ruffle, or Ruff and eaglet (a young eagle).

Washibon may be a combination of 鷲 washi (eagle) and bon (boy, as a prefix or a nickname), ibon (Filipino for bird), or haribon (Philippine Eagle).
