Nidoran♀ (Pokémon): Difference between revisions

Nidoran♀ appears to draw inspiration from {{wp|hamster}}s, {{wp|rabbit}}s (perhaps an {{wp|Amami rabbit}}, specifically), {{wp|Mouse|mice}}, {{wp|groundhog}}s, or {{wp|porcupine}}s, with aspects of {{wp|venomous mammal}}s. Anatomically, however, they resemble {{wp|hyrax}}es – small, {{wp|rodent}}-like mammals that are genetically more closely related to much larger mammals like {{wp|elephant}}s and {{wp|manatee}}s featuring thickset bodies with tough hides (similar to Nidorina and Nidoqueen). It most likely also draws inspiration from the Moon Rabbit in Asian folklore, this might explain why it requires a Moon Stone to attain its final form.
