Fearow (Pokémon): Difference between revisions

Fearow appears to be based on various predatory birds, particularly {{wp|vulture}}s and {{wp|condor}}s due to its long neck, sharp beak, shaggy feathers, broad wings, and soaring flight. The large {{wp|comb (anatomy)|comb}} on its head resembles a {{wp|rooster|rooster's}}. Its large neck and beak are also similar to various water birds such as {{wp|cormorant}}s, {{wp|darter}}s, {{wp|stork}}s, and {{wp|heron}}s, particularly the {{wp|Goliath heron}} whose feathers when ruffled look superficially like a comb. Its Pokédex entries describe multiple hunting methods, either divebombing prey like {{wp|falcon}}s and {{wp|hawk}}s or probing through the soil and water like {{wp|sandpiper}}s and {{wp|snipe}}s.

Onidrill may be a combination of 鬼 ''{{wp|oni}}'' (demon), 鳥 dori (bird), and ドリル doriru (drill; referring to its sharp beak).
