 ===Origin===
-Whimsicott appears to be based on a fully bloomed ball of {{wp|cotton}}. It also may draw some origin from the {{wp|Vegetable Lamb of Tartary}}, which was a type of sheep-growing plant that was used to explain the production of cotton in the Middle Ages. It may also have been based on the Brazilian folklore creature known as the {{wp|Saci (Brazilian folklore)|Saci}}; both are brown creatures that live in forests, ride on winds, and play pranks. It also appears to be based on a {{wp|sheep}}.
+Whimsicott's appearance alludes to a fully bloomed ball of {{wp|cotton}} but its behavior as a windswept wandering plant seems to be based on {{wp|tumbleweed}}s. It also may draw some origin from the {{wp|Vegetable Lamb of Tartary}}, a mythical "sheep-growing" plant used to explain the production of cotton in the Middle Ages. Furthermore, Whimsicott displays a mischievous side akin to impish creatures from folklore like the Brazilian {{wp|Saci (Brazilian folklore)|Saci}}; both are brown creatures that live in forests, ride on winds, and play pranks.
