===Origin===
===Origin===
Kadabra appears to be based on {{wp|Magician (fantasy)|magicians}} and {{wp|Spoon bending|spoon benders}}. It also shares similarities with {{wp|fox}}es, animals mythologically tied to magic. Its' mustache-like tufts of fur maybe an exaggeration of a fox's whiskers. The symbols on Kadabra's forehead and abdomen appear to be references to {{wp|Zener cards}}, a small deck of symbols used in experiments to test for {{wp|extrasensory perception}} and {{wp|clairvoyance}} in the early 1930s. As it created the spoon with its psychic powers, it may be based on the practise of {{wp|alchemy}}, an early science that sought to synthesise metals with magic. The "Transformation" novel about Kadabra may be based on {{wp|Franz Kafka}}'s ''{{wp|The Metamorphosis}}''.
