This pokemon has an interesting inspiration behind it. Shiftry is based on Tengu, a yokai that appears in both Shintoism and Buddhism. They are long-nosed anthropomorphic man bird-like beings that wield battle fans. Some see them as evil spirits who hurt and possess people, while others describe them as powerful protectors who watch over the forest and mountains.
