Alolan Dugtrio's hair | Alolan Dugtrio's hair might be based on {{wp|Pele's hair}}, a thin {{wp|volcanic glass}} formed near {{wp|Hawaii|Hawaiian}} {{wp|volcanoes}}. The lore of taking its hairs references the modern {{wp|Pele's Curse}}, while its reputation as a feminine deity is a reference to {{wp|Pele (deity)|Pele}} herself. The darker soil surrounding its body might be a reference to {{wp|black sand}} which is found on beaches near volcanoes. Its {{type|Steel}} might be a reference to another type of magnetic black sand found in {{wp|placer deposits}}. It also resembles a stereotypical {{wp|Southern California}} {{wp|surf culture|surfer}} with tanned skin and blonde hair. | ||
