Braviary is a large, avian Pokémon with dark red feathers on its back and dark blue feathers on its underside. Its tail feathers are red, turning to yellow, and then blue at the tips. Braviary's legs are long and thick with yellow feet that each have a digit facing backward, and three facing forward. Each digit is tipped by a short, thick, black claw.  

Braviary has a long, thick beak with a blue {{wp|cere}}. On either side of the cere are Braviary's eyes, which are black with small white pupils. Sprouting from above the eyes are three large, white feathers. At the base of the feathers is a red, three-pointed design that is spread across all three feathers. On each side of Braviary's face, sprouting out from behind the feathers on its forehead, are an additional three white feathers pointing horizontally and downward. Behind the three feathers on its head is a large plume of white feathers, extending most of the way down its neck. These features combined resemble a {{wp|Native American}} {{wp|war bonnet}}.

Braviary is based on an {{wp|eagle}}, specifically the {{wp|Bald Eagle}}. Some of its physical characteristics, such as the fully-feathered legs and the light-colored "crown" on its nape, are reminiscent of a {{wp|Golden Eagle}}. It also has feathers on its head that resemble {{wp|war bonnet}}s. Some species of eagle, such as the {{wp|Philippine Eagle}}, possess a similar crest. Its color scheme and basis suggest it is inspired by {{wp|Flag of the United States|the Star-Spangled Banner}}, the flag of the {{wp|United States of America}}, which is red, white, and blue and the national symbol of which is the Bald Eagle. It also resembles a {{wp|Native American}} warrior.

 

According to interviews with [[Ken Sugimori]] in ''Nintendo Dream'', Rufflet and Braviary were added early into the development of {{v2|Black and White|s}}.

Braviary is a corruption of ''bravery'' and a combination of ''brave'' and ''{{wp|aviary}}''. "Home of the brave" is a lyric found in the "{{wp|The Star-Spangled Banner}}", the national anthem of the United States. ''Brave'' may also refer to the term used for {{wp|Native American}} warriors, as in some native tribes, the {{wp|eagle}} is a sacred animal.
