Cramorant (Pokémon): Difference between revisions

Cramorant may be based on two common seabirds present in the British Isles,  the {{wp|cormorant}} and the {{wp|fulmar}}, a bird that uses {{wp|defensive vomiting}} to turn away predators; inspiration from the latter may also justify its primary {{t|Flying}} type, as like most petrels, fulmars spend most of their lives on the wing. Its {{a|Gulp Missile}} [[Ability]] may also draw inspiration from {{wp|cormorant fishing}}, an ancient fishing technique that consists of using trained cormorants to fish and spit the fish up. Cormorants also frequently hold their wings outstretched, as Cramorant does, to dry their feathers after a dive. The plumage on its neck may be inspired by {{wp|Bib (garment)|bibs}}. Its [[Shiny]] form's orange coloration may be inspired by multiple news stories from the UK involving seagulls having turned orange due to accidentally falling into curry sauce.<ref>(June 9, 2016).
