Capsakid (Pokémon): Difference between revisions

Capsakid's {{pkmn|category}} and appearance suggest it may be based on an immature {{wp|chili pepper}} such as the {{wp|habanero}} (as alluded to in its Japanese category). The splitting flower over the back of its pepper-shaped head is also based on how peppers grow; the budding berry will grow from inside the flower, causing its petals to cover the pistil of the developing pepper in a manner similar to Capsakid's cap. Its cap and beak also make it resemble the {{wp|Kappa (folklore)|kappa}}. It also resembles a newly hatched baby dinosaur or chick, with its white cap resembling a piece of egg shell.

Capsakid may be a combination of ''{{wp|capsaicin}}'' (active component of chili peppers) or ''{{wp|Capsicum}}'' the genus containing spicy peppers, ''kappa'', and ''kid''.
