===Origin===
Venonat seems to be based on a {{wp|flea}} due to its piercing mouthparts, round body, and tendency to hop around on its large hind legs. It may also be based on {{wp|caterpillar#Human health|venomous caterpillar}}s such as the {{wp|flannel moth|puss caterpillar}} since it is covered in long {{wp|Urticating hair|toxic hairs}} and evolves into a moth. Its large {{wp|compound eye}}s function like {{wp|radar}} and resemble {{wp|parabolic antenna}}s.
Venonat seems to draw inspiration from multiple insects, which may include {{wp|Flea|fleas}}, {{wp|Mite|mites}}, {{wp|Fly|flies}}, {{wp|Owlfly|owlflies}}, flightless {{wp|Moth|moths}}, and/or {{wp|Caterpillar#Human health|venomous caterpillars}}. Its large {{wp|compound eye}}s function like {{wp|radar}} and resemble {{wp|parabolic antenna}}s.
