Woobat (Pokémon): Difference between revisions
→Trivia: Edited origin (Woobat is most likely not based on a Honduran white bat at all. It doesn’t have white fur, big eyes, or a yellow nose, and the traits it does share with the Honduran white bat are common in many other bats. It’s very much a stretch, so it shouldn’t be listed as this Pokémon’s primary inspiration.)

Woobat appears to be based on | Woobat appears to be based on leaf-nosed bats in general. Its round nose leaf and sharp central tooth may be inspired by {{wp|vampire bats}}. It may also be a literal interpretation of a {{wp|heart-nosed bat}}. The hair covering its eyes may be a reference to the myth of bats being blind or having extremely poor eyesight. Woobat's nose resembles a rubber stamp, befitting its signature move, {{m|Heart Stamp}}. Its single tooth also resembles a baby tooth, which may allude to its status as a first-stage Pokémon with low base stats. | ||
