===Origin===
Abra is likely based on a {{wp|mystic}} or {{wp|psychic}}. It also has similarities to {{wp|goat}}s and {{wp|fox}}es, both animals with ties to magic. Given the rat-like tail of its early sprites and the fact that it sleeps 18 hours a day, like the North American oppossum, Abra could also draw inspiration from {{wp|opossum}}s. Alternatively, given its large claws and "armor," it could draw inspiration from the {{wp|giant armadillo}}, which also shares similar sleeping habits.
