===Origin===
===Origin===
Wooloo appears to be based on the black-faced breeds of domestic {{wp|sheep}}. The shape of its wool maybe a reference to a {{wp|Cotton pad|cotton ball}}.
Wooloo is based on a sheep,<ref name=InsideGamer/> perhaps specifically black-faced breeds of domestic sheep like the {{wp|Valais Blacknose}}. The shape of its wool resembles a {{wp|Cotton pad|cotton ball}}. The grey hair on the sides of its head appear to be stylized in form of {{wp|braid}}s.
 
In an interview, {{g|Sword and Shield}} director [[Shigeru Ohmori]] noted that a challenge in designing Wooloo was to ensure its design did not end up being too similar to {{p|Mareep}}, another Pokémon inspired by sheep.<ref name=InsideGamer>O., Jack (2019). "[https://inside.gamer.nl/in-gesprek-met-ohmori-en-masuda-over-pokemon-sword-en-shield/ In gesprek met Ohmori en Masuda over Pokémon Sword en Shield]." ''Inside.Gamer.nl'' (Dutch)</ref>


====Name origin====
