In | In Incarnate Forme, Tornadus is based on {{wp|Fūjin}}, the ''{{wp|kami}}'' of wind.<ref name=ND205>''Nintendo Dream'' Vol. 205, May 2011 ([https://web.archive.org/web/20110402003550/http://shellspider.blog101.fc2.com/blog-entry-562.html Shellspider's blog (Japanese)], [http://lavacutcontent.com/ken-sugimori-nintendo-dream/ Translation by Dr. Lava])</ref> It may also have drawn some inspiration from {{wp|Jinn}}. | ||
In | In Therian Forme, Tornadus seems to be based on a {{wp|bird of prey}}, most likely an {{wp|eagle}}, {{wp|vulture}}, or other large avian species. It may also draw inspiration from the {{wp|Vermilion Bird}} (Chinese: 朱雀 ''Zhūquè'') of the {{wp|Four Symbols|Chinese Four Symbols}}; from {{wp|Huītzilōpōchtli}}, a god from the Aztec mythology that resembles a hummingbird; or from {{wp|Garuda}}, a mythical birdlike creature with both zoomorphic and anthropomorphic features. | ||
