===Origin===
===Origin===
Zapdos may be based on the {{wp|Native American}} legend of the {{wp|thunderbird (mythology)|thunderbird}}. The thunderbird was known for being the spirit of thunder, lightning, and rain in the form of a giant bird. The beating of the wings was said to create thunder. It may also have been based on the {{wp|lightning bird}}, a bird created from wherever lightning hits the earth. Aesthetically it may also be based of {{wp|hummingbirds}}, due to the long beak, the rather simple wings and described violent behaviour.
