Ferrothorn (Pokémon): Difference between revisions

It appears to be based on a {{wp|durian}}<!-- and {{wp|brier}}--> plants. Its vines resemble {{wp|flail (weapon)|military flails}}. The vines also resemble a fully-grown brier plant, just as its {{p|Ferroseed|unevolved form}} resembles a seed. It could also be based on the {{wp|tribulus}}, which is a species of thorny plants whose name, during Roman times, also meant {{wp|caltrops}}, which is a thorny metallic weapon used to puncture the feet of invading soldiers. (Also note that the tri- in tribulus means "three", which is also the same number of pods Ferrothorn has.)
