It seems to me that Rowlet is at least partially based on the Stymphalian birds from Greek mythology. They were known for attacking by shooting out their feathers as projectile weapons. Rowlet does the same thing, although his are leaves that double as his feathers and therefore ''are'' his feathers, as was detailed in the official information release on the Pokémon Sun and Moon website. Link to the Wikipedia page on the {{wp|Stymphalian birds}} here.

:we'll have to wait on further evolutions to get a better grasp on their basis. Also, it may be based on something more botanic https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urticating_hair Urticating hairs or urticating bristles, i.e. irritating hairs, are one of the primary defense mechanisms used by numerous plants. Rowlet are a grass-type afterall. [[User:Yamitora1|Yamitora1]] ([[User talk:Yamitora1|talk]]) 19:20, 10 May 2016 (UTC) | |||
