>Some fans believe Girafarig references the obsolete but still charming hypothesis that some dinosaurs, particularly Stegosaurus, had secondary brains in their tails, and Girafarig certainly has rather saurian-looking spikes down its back. I'm not so sure if that was the intent, but it's an interesting interpretation.Girafarig is just a Doolittle character Pokemonified, and it's weird Bulbapedia lists the most obscure and stretching potential origins to avoid daring to admit a Pokemon is based off of a preexisting thing as much as possible (they do the same with kaiju too for some reason). Oddly enough the second Pokemon based on literature in the 2nd Gen.
Girafarig's inspiration is apparently used in political cartoons a lot, and it made me think how cool a "Join or Die" snake mon could be.
