Breloom (Pokémon): Difference between revisions

Breloom seems to be based on a {{wp|mushroom}}, specificially {{wp|agaric}} types. The red nodules on its head resemble the berry-like {{wp|aril}}s on a {{wp|Taxus baccata|yew}} tree. The shape of its head is reminiscent of a ''{{wp|Kasa (hat)|kasa}}'', traditional Japanese hats with wide brims. Some of these hats were worn by monks, samurais, and soldiers, which may explain Breloom's {{t|Fighting}} type. Its body structure resembles a {{wp|kangaroo}}, so its Fighting type could also be inspired by the {{wp|boxing kangaroo}}. It may also be based on a {{wp|dinosaur}} due to its claws, its dome-shape head resembling that of a {{wp|pachycephalosaurus}}, its club-shaped tail resembling that of an {{wp|ankylosaurus}}, and its pre-evolution {{p|Shroomish}} resembling a {{wp|dinosaur egg}}.
