This Pokémon's appearance is based on the Arabic Anka myth, deriving from the Persian رخ {{wp|Roc (mythology)|rukh}}, which is that of a giant arctic bird. Also, its long tail and small body may be reference to the rare bird, the {{wp|quetzal}}. It is also anatomically very similar to the {{wp|White-throated Magpie-jay}}.
