===Origin===
Nidoran♂ appears to draw inspiration from {{wp|hamster}}s, {{wp|rabbit}}s, {{wp|Mouse|mice}}, or – given their aggressive nature towards one another – {{wp|porcupine}}s, with aspects of {{wp|venomous mammal}}s. However, anatomically they are arguably most like {{wp|hyrax}}es – small, {{wp|rodent}}-like mammals that are genetically more closely related to much larger mammals like elephants and manatees featuring thickset bodies with tough hides (similar to {{p|Nidorino}} and {{p|Nidoking}}).
