20 Pokémon characters inspired by real wild animals（4/4）
1K View2023-06-18Here comes our final part, thank you for having watched my post so far..
1. Zigzagoon / Raccoon dog (Nyctereutes procyonoides)
This enchanting character is inspired by a delightfully adorable member of the canid family, the Japanese raccoon dog. Native to Japan, they share a close kinship with the common raccoon dog (N. procyonoides) and have a more distant relation to foxes (as opposed to raccoons, which belong to the Procyonidae family). Also known as tanuki, raccoon dogs hold significant significance in Japanese folklore. They feature in tales as mischievous tricksters, capable of effortless shape-shifting, including transforming into humans, and even captivating with their melodic songs.
Tragically, Sunda Pangolins are hunted for their skin, scales, and meat, which are sought after for both fashion and traditional medicinal purposes.
2.Gorebyss/ Long-Nosed Chimaera (Rhinochimaerida family)
Officially, this aquatic Pokémon is believed to be inspired by the snipe eel - a remarkably slender eel with beak-like jaws resembling a snipe. However, in our opinion, it bears a striking resemblance to the Long-Nosed Chimaera. This group of cartilaginous fish inhabits temperate and tropical seas across the globe. They are occasionally referred to as spookfish, a fitting name considering their eerie appearance and their deep-sea dwelling in dark depths.
3.Stunfisk / Stargazer (Uranoscopidae family)
While Stunfisk may appear slightly cuter than its intimidating real-life counterpart, with its bug-like eyes and upward-facing mouth, it does share a resemblance to the Stargazer fish. Stargazers belong to a family comprising approximately 51 distinct species, all characterized by their eyes located on the tops of their heads. These fish camouflage themselves in the sand on the ocean floor and swiftly leap upwards to capture passing prey. Their skyward-facing eyes prove to be advantageous in this hunting technique. However, unlike Stunfisk, they lack the ability to electrify their prey with a powerful blast of electricity.
4.Rattata/ Bennett's chinchilla rat (Abrocoma bennettii)
Undoubtedly, this Pokémon draws inspiration from a rodent, and its distinctive ears bear a striking resemblance to that of a chinchilla rat. Chinchilla rats belong to the Abrocomidae family, a small group of rodents encompassing just nine known species. These creatures inhabit tunnels in the Andes mountains and subsist on a diet comprising seeds, fruits, and nuts. Interestingly, this specific species is exclusive to Chile and holds the distinction of being the largest within its family.
5.Rhydon/ Javan Rhinocerous (Rhinoceros sondaicus)
With its horn, bipedal gait, and thick tail, Rhydon seems to embody a fusion of a rhinoceros and a dinosaur. We can't help but notice its striking resemblance to a specific species of rhino, the Javan Rhinoceros. Just like Rhydon, this rhino sports a solitary horn and possesses a robust, armor-like skin. Unfortunately, it is also one of the world's most endangered animals, with fewer than 100 individuals remaining, primarily due to the devastating impact of horn poaching..

20 Pokémon characters inspired by real wild animals（2/4）
It is customary for Pokémon designs to draw inspiration from real-world animals. This approach not only enhances our connection with Pokémon but also allows for artistic modifications that make them even more extraordinary, distinct, and endearing
Now, let's take a look at the five Pokémon of the day.
1.Psyduck/platypus (Ornithorhynchus anatinus)
There's no denying the inspiration behind this Pokémon. I mean, seriously, where else can you find a creature sporting both luscious hair and a bill like a duck? Just like the platypus, this character is also at home in the water, inhabiting freshwater lakes, ponds, and rivers.

20 Pokémon characters inspired by real wild animals（1/4）
It is often said that art originates from life, and the design of Pokémon is also inspired by the real world. In the following four parts, I will present to you a total of twenty Pokémon and their corresponding sources of inspiration.
1.Dragalge/leafy seadragon (Phycodurus eques)
This aquatic character draws inspiration from the leafy seadragon (Phycodurus eques), a marine fish species found near the Australian coast. While there is a strong resemblance, there are some notable differences. Unlike the Pokémon, which can spray a highly corrosive poison, sea dragons are completely harmless and peaceful. Instead, they rely on their intricate camouflage to evade predators by blending seamlessly with floating seaweed.

20 Pokémon characters inspired by real wild animals（3/4）
Here comes our third part, and this time we have selected five familiar faces.
1.Sandshrew/ Sunda Pangolin (Manis javanica)
Just like Rhydon, Sandshrew is unfortunately inspired by a critically endangered and heavily poached creature, the Sunda Pangolin. Pangolins are fascinating mammals found in Asia and Africa, characterized by their unique, armor-like scales composed of keratin (the same material found in hair and nails) - the only mammals to possess such a feature. The resemblance between Sandshrew's tough hide and the pangolin's scales is evident.

And let's not forget that Obstagoon, zigzagoon's last evolution was inspired not by a wild animal, but by a wild singer/musician! ✦.✦
