→Trivia: i don't think Kilowattrel is related to thunderbirds like say, Zapdos probably is. the thunderbird in Native American mythology creates storms and thunder by flapping its wings, which Kilowattrel doesn't (it generates electricity, but that's about it). Kilowattrel is more based on wind powered electricity than anything

Kilowattrel may be based on a {{wp|frigatebird}}. Like frigatebirds, Kilowattrel has a hooked beak, angular wings, and forked tail. Its large wingspan and size might also reference the fact that frigatebirds have the largest wing area to body ratio of any bird. Kilowattrel's throat sac also resembles the {{wp|gular sac}} found on male frigatebirds. Much like its pre-evolution, it may also take inspiration from {{wp|storm petrel}}s | Kilowattrel may be based on a {{wp|frigatebird}}.
