Was Nidoran supposed to be like an homage to the Horny Hares from Dragon Quest or are they both based on some kind of japanese folk creature or something?

there's an old arabic story with a rabbit that has a curly spiral horn that the dq hares may be based on, and nidoran is indeed probably based on the dq monster with baragon themes added.

Yep

And that.

Well documented now that the Game Freak OG's were massive nerds and the original monsters are based heavily off Ultraman and Dragon Quest.

Any more examples? or a source? I find it pretty interesting that some of the Pokemon are based on other games and stuff like Ledian being Pulseman and Mew/Mewtwo being based on Gigue from Mother
