Rillaboom | Rillaboom appears be based on a {{wp|gorilla}} with elements from {{wp|drummer}}s, most notably ''{{wp|Taiko}}'' drummers. Its behavior may reference the fact that gorillas {{wp|Drum#Animal drumming|make drumming sounds}} by beating their chests to show {{wp|Social dominance theory|social dominance}}. This combined with Rillaboom's Grass typing may take inspiration from the belief that music stimulates plant growth. Rillaboom's size and ape-like appearance may also be partially influenced by the extinct ''{{wp|Gigantopithecus}}'', a prehistoric genus of apes. | ||
Rillaboom | Rillaboom's motif of a gorilla drummer is most likely inspired by a British advert that aired across the UK in 2007. During that year, the British confectionery company {{wp|Cadbury}} produced an advert for their {{wp|Cadbury Dairy Milk}} chocolate bar, wherein it had a gorilla playing the drums to the song ''In The Air Tonight'' by the famous British drummer {{wp|Phil Collins}}.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TnzFRV1LwIo/ Cadbury's Gorilla Advert | Youtube]</ref> | ||
