Arctovish (Pokémon): Difference between revisions

Arctovish, like its counterparts, may be based on the {{wp|Crystal Palace Dinosaurs}}, a series of misassembled dinosaur sculptures displayed at the {{wp|Crystal Palace Park}}. In the case of Arctovish, its top half appears to be based on the fish ''{{wp|Dunkleosteus}}'' though the frontal pair of fins resemble those possessed by {{wp|Sarcopterygii|lobe-finned fish}} such as {{wp|Coelacanth}}s rather than the fins of Dunkleosteus. The upper half may also be based on the ''{{wp|Ainiktozoon}}'', an arthropod fossil discovered in Scotland which was reconstructed upside-down. Its bottom half appears to be based on an aquatic reptile, like a {{wp|Plesiosauria|plesiosaur}}, {{wp|mosasaur}} or {{wp|ichthyosaur}}.
