>“Vullaby and Mandibuzz’s counterparts. These were designed early on in development by Mr Unno. Because the Unova region is based on New York, the idea of a bald eagle immediately came to Unnoji’s mind, and he used the colors red, white, and blue because of the American flag. He wanted to make a Pokemon that was immediately recognizable as a bird of prey, so he added strong, thick legs as well as elements from Native American culture. Unnoji used the Native American aesthetic for Rufflett’s wings, but he’s always liked chicks with fluffy white heads, so he used that as well.”
