===Origin===
Nidoran♀ appears to draw inspiration from {{wp|rabbit}}s (perhaps an {{wp|Amami rabbit}}, specifically) and {{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).
