Rufflet (Pokémon): Difference between revisions

Rufflet's design is likely based on the {{wp|Ruff}}, whose males are known for their head tufts. It also seems to be based on an {{wp|eagle}}t. The single plume on his head resembles an honor feather, such as those worn by the {{wp|Plains Indians}} and, like Braviary, it is also based on {{wp|Indigenous peoples of the Americas|Native American}} warriors. Its fluffy head plumage also resembles an eskimo's coat. 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.
