Avalugg (Pokémon): Difference between revisions

Avalugg appears to be based on a {{wp|tabular iceberg}} or a {{wp|stalactite}}. It may be a representation of the submerged part of the iceberg, which is immense in comparison with the tip. Avalugg's {{t|Ice}} typing and being likened to an {{wp|aircraft carrier}} may be a reference to {{wp|Project Habakkuk}}, a plan conceived by the {{wp|Allies of World War II|Allies}} in {{wp|World War II}} to build an aircraft carrier from {{wp|pykrete}}, a combination of ice and wood pulp. Its body also somewhat resembles a tortoise, or perhaps a rhinoceros, ceratopsian, or ankylosaur.
