Rufflet is 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}}. Like Braviary, Rufflet is based on {{wp|Indigenous peoples of the Americas|Native American}} warriors. | Rufflet is based on an {{wp|eagle}}t.

Rufflet also seems to have some basis on parrots as well. In the anime one is shown using his talons to crack open a nut, and then bring the nut to his bill using his foot. Parrots are the only bird species that can use its "foot" to bring food to its mouth. | |||
According to interviews with [[Ken Sugimori]] in ''Nintendo Dream'', Rufflet and Braviary were added early into the development of {{v2|Black and White|s}}. | According to interviews with [[Ken Sugimori]] in ''Nintendo Dream'', Rufflet and Braviary were added early into the development of {{v2|Black and White|s}}. | ||
