"Yveltal is a large flying Pokémon with a vaguely avian appearance. The upper side of its body is dark in coloration, adorned with greyish diamond patterns along its wings and long tail. Both wings have three points extending from their trailing edge, close to where the wing meets the body. There are large, claw-like structures at its wingtips, with three curved hooks facing inward like a hand, flanked on each side by a shorter, spike-like protrusion. The end of its tail bears an identical claw, and as a result Yveltal's entire body forms a Y-shape when its wings and tail are fully extended in flight. Its underparts are bright red, and appear to be capable of lighting up or glowing under certain conditions. Black markings run from the center of its torso towards its extremities, each ending in a three-pronged branching pattern. Similar markings are present on Yveltal's head, running up its neck to its pointed, beak-like snout. Black horns extend from above its piercing blue eyes, with a sharply-curved portion pointing forward and thinner prongs facing the rear. A feathery grey ruff, similar to that of a vulture, encircles its neck and billows out over its back. Yveltal has small, birdlike legs with powerful talons. Like the rest of its underside, the legs are red with black adornments, and its talons are grey. Each foot has two toes facing forward and one pointing backwards, creating a Y-shape. {{unsigned|Togeknight}}

They are all '''Y-shaped''', with wings and a long tail. It makes sense, we are talking about a legendary. Why do you keep ignoring that? On 4chan they already call it "the pokemon rathalos", while here is referred as "avian" (correct, but generic and obvious) and its name is said to be from [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/quetzal this little bird]. {{unsigned|Tano}}

:I agree that it absolutely resembles a wyvern, but the inspiration doesn't belong in the physiology section. Physiology is meant to detail the appearance and nothing more, and in this case "avian" works as a good basic description cuz as far as we know its just an generic winged beastie. Boring? Maybe, but proper and descriptive. If it gets Dragon typing or something it is more likely based on a wyvern, but that still isn't needed in the Physiology section. In my opinion, the comparison to a wyvern belongs in the Origin section. [[User:Togeknight|~Destruction on Wings~]] ([[User talk:Togeknight|talk]]) 14:09, 12 January 2013 (UTC)
