Fezandipiti (Japanese: キチキギス Kichikigisu) is a Pokémon introduced in Generation IX.
It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.
Along with Okidogi and Munkidori, it is a member of the Loyal Three.
Biology
Fezandipiti is an avian Pokémon with a small head, a short beak with a magenta tip, and a long neck and legs. Its plumage is primarily black, with white on its head and neck, and bronze accents on its face, collar, and wing tips. It stands atop a pair of long slender bronze-colored legs having three-toed feet with sharp claws, and its tail consists of a long train of bronze-colored feathers ending in forked tips that gently curl outwards. A single white stripe accents each of its legs and its tail. A crest of black feathers resembling a cap sits atop Fezandipiti's head, with golden feathers sticking out resembling a royal crown. A pair of magenta plumes also sit just above each of Fezandipiti's eyes like eyebrows, and extend like long streamers with forked ends. Hanging from Fezandipiti's chest is a pair of magenta chains, protruding from a shawl-like feature that wraps its body.
Fezandipiti, together with Okidogi and Munkidori, are known as the Loyal Three, the heroes of Kitakami. They are beloved by the people of Kitakami as heroes that once protected the land from an evil ogre,[1] and stone statues bearing their likenesses were made by the people as an expression of their gratitude.[2]
Trivia
Origin
Fezandipiti may be based on a pheasant. It also bears resemblance to a hoatzin.
Fezandipiti, together with Okidogi, Munkidori, and Ogerpon, may reference the Japanese folktale of Momotarō. The tale relates the titular Momotarō, a boy born from inside a peach, who traveled alongside a talking dog, monkey, and pheasant to fight a band of oni (a Japanese folkloric creature commonly equated to ogres in translations).
Name origin
Fezandipiti may be a combination of pheasant and serendipity (an unexpected but auspicious happening).
Kichikigisu may be a combination of 吉 kichi (fortune) and 雉子 kigisu (archaic reading of pheasant).
