Slurpuff (Pokémon): Difference between revisions

Slurpuff is based on {{wp|meringue}}, a dessert made from whipped egg whites and sugar. It is often topped with {{wp|whipped cream}} and fruits to create a meringue nest. The red sphere on its head resembles a fruit topping such as a strawberry or cherry, which may refer to the phrase "Cherry on top". Meringue is also used as a sweet base on other various desserts such as cakes, pies, and pastries. Slurpuff may also be based on {{wp|cupcake}}s or Japanese-style {{wp|mille-feuille}}. Cupcakes are sometimes referred to as fairy cakes, which may be an inspiration for its type. Although Slurpuff carries over some canine-like details from its previous stage, its design appears to be an amalgam of a {{wp|lap dog}} and heavily stylized {{wp|clown}}, complete with white face paint, pink [[wp:Ruff_(clothing)|ruff collar]], and light pink "wig".
