Kakuna is a yellow, cocoon-like Pokémon. Kakuna has a dome-shaped head and black, triangular eyes. It has two scythe-like arms in the middle of its body. When it comes close to evolving, its body gives off heat that makes it warm to the touch. Kakuna remains virtually immobile and waits for evolution often hanging from tree branches by long strands of silk. When attacked, however, it can extend its poison barbs. Kakuna nests in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|temperate forests}} and misty wooded areas. Occasionally, it will also nest at the mouth of tunnels and caves, as seen in [[Pokémon Snap]].

===Concept and development===
Kakuna and its evolutionary relatives were designed by [[Atsuko Nishida]].<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/19980121112202fw_/http://www.gamefreak.co.jp/POKEMON/INTER/ATSUKO/INTER_AT.HTM Interview with Atsuko Nishida on Game Freak's website]</ref>


===Origin===
===Origin===
Kakuna's design appears to be based on the {{wp|Honey bee life cycle|pupa stage}} of a {{wp|bee}} (more specifically, the common honeybee pupa) or {{wp|wasp}}.
Kakuna appears to be based on the {{wp|pupa|pupal stage}} of a {{wp|bee}} or {{wp|wasp}}. Its tendency to dangle from a thread (as seen in the {{pkmn|anime}} and some {{spin-off games}}) may also be based on certain {{wp|parasitoid wasp}}s whose larvae construct hanging {{wp|Pupa#Cocoon|cocoons}}.
 
Kakuna's characteristic of dangling from a thread, as seen in the {{pkmn|anime}} and some [[Spin-off Pokémon games|spin-off games]], may be based on hanging {{wp|Ichneumonoidea|parasitoid wasp}} cocoons.
