Swellow is based directly on {{wp|swallow}}s, specifically a {{wp|barn swallow}} or {{wp|welcome swallow}}. However, it shares characteristics with other types of birds as well. In terms of behavior, its predatory habits and incredible speed suggest inspiration from {{wp|falcon}}s, or perhaps the {{wp|swallow-tailed kite}}. Its coloration, appearance, and crested head are similar to {{wp|treeswift}}s, though its head also resembles that of a {{wp|secretarybird}}. Swellow's {{Shiny}} colors of green, red and white, combined with its two long tail feathers, also resemble the {{wp|resplendent quetzal}}. | Swellow is based directly on {{wp|swallow}}s, specifically a {{wp|barn swallow}} or {{wp|welcome swallow}}.
