 ===Origin===
-Glalie, quite like Jynx, has human features, thus the face pokemon. It may be based on a cold, distant facial expression or person. It also resembles an ice hockey mask, to an extent.
+It shares physical similarities with a {{wp|goaltender|hockey goalie}}'s mask, as well as with a form of traditional Japanese {{wp|mochi}}. It may also be based on a cold, distant facial expression or person.
 ====Name origin====
-Glalie's name is likely a combination of ''{{wp|glacier}}'' and ''goalie''. Its Japanese name is a combination of 鬼 ''{{wp|oni}}'', demon, and 氷 ''kōri'', ice. It also maybe a combination of ''oni'' and ''goalie''.
