Altaria | Altaria may be based on a {{wp|Peng (mythology)|Peng}}, a Chinese legendary bird of enormous size, said to travel 3000 {{wp|li (unit)|li}} in one flap of its mighty, {{wp|cloud}}-like wings. It is often portrayed as having a fish's head and whiskers. Altaria also resembles a {{wp|cockatiel}}, albeit with clouds as wings. Similar characteristics shared with cockatiels include its crest and "cheeks". The resemblance is further expanded upon by Altaria's {{Shiny}} form resembling a {{wp|lutino cockatiel}}, which is famous for its mostly white and yellow coloration. Altaria's names suggest it may be based on a {{wp|bluebird}} and the {{wp|Draco (constellation)|Draco}} constellation. | ||
The shape of the fluff on Mega Altaria's head may draw inspiration from {{wp|dutch cap}}s or {{wp|ushanka}}s. | The shape of the fluff on Mega Altaria's head may draw inspiration from {{wp|dutch cap}}s or {{wp|ushanka}}s. | ||
