Flutter Mane (Pokémon): Difference between revisions

Undo revision 3750809 by Team Rocket Grunt (talk) it still looks nothing like pterosaurs; also Occulture is known in-universe to be a dubious source anyway. (also also, pterosaurs don't have scales)
(What? It doesn't have to look like a pterosaur, it's a ghost, and feathers and the reptile scales apparently come from the pterosaur idea.)

Flutter Mane is based on {{p|Misdreavus}}. It may also be based on {{wp|banshee}}s and the {{wp|bruxa}}, a vampire witch from Iberian folklore. Because of the wing-like hair, it may also be inspired by {{wp|Flying Head}}s, which often are described with long hair and sometimes bat-like or bird-like wings.

Noting the Violet Pokédex entry’s description and the spikes on Flutter Mane’s head as well as the winged feather-like hair, it could be loosely based on the ghost embodiment of a {{wp|pterosaur}}.
