Noctowl seems to be based on {{wp|horned owl}} | Noctowl seems to be based on a {{wp|horned owl}}, particularly the {{wp|Eurasian eagle-owl}} due to its red eyes. The feathers that make up its "horns" also resemble a pair of large, bushy eyebrows, which can be interpreted as a sign of age and wisdom, traits that are sometimes associated with owls. This association with wisdom may also explain its ability to learn various {{t|Psychic}}-type moves. | ||
