Spritzee (Pokémon): Difference between revisions

Spritzee seems to be based both on a bird, sharing some traits with {{wp|Hummingbird|hummingbirds}} and a possible coloration reference to {{wp|flamingo}}s, as well as a {{wp|perfume}} bottle's squeeze bulb. The shape of its beak is also reminiscent of parrots, more specifically {{wp|Major Mitchell's cockatoo}}, which is pink and has a frilly feather crest while mature female has red eyes. Given the round white area on its face it may also draw inspiration from traditional {{wp|carnival}} masks used in central and southern parts of Europe, and masks worn at {{wp|masquerade ball}}s. Its fluffy body may be based on powder puffs or other cosmetics applicators. Its perfumes and avian qualities and origins may mean that Spritzee and Aromatisse could have possibly been based on {{wp|plague doctor}}s, who used various perfumes held in bird-like masks to drown out the scent of the plague and deceased.
