that hunts by eating things flushed out of the grass by fire (e.g. Eagle (harpy, Haast's, Steller's, Phillipine/haribon, martial, bateleur).Spur-winged goose (poisonous due to eating blister beetles see also other information about 'spur-winged' birds here and here).Southern Giant Petrel (spits nasty stomach goo at predators/uses as food for chicks/migration).Red-breasted merganser (diving duck with high flight speed see also ).undertaker bird ghost or dark or something?) African 'hammerhead stork', often seen in legends as the 'Lightning Bird' electric/water Thor demon stork idk) Darter/anhinga/snakebird ('snake bird'? also called 'devil birds', so.?).Woodpecker (two-stage split? fire and poison evos that destroy trees in fun and exciting ways? thought I read something about a mildly poisonous woodpecker but I can't find it again so that may be incorrect).White-throated needle-tailed swift (fastest flying bird).Whip-poor-will (cries are supposedly a death omen, etc 'whisporwil'?).Myna (sound-based/mimicry it's mostly hill mynas that talk, although some other species like the Bali myna are prettier so hm.Australian brushturkey can these fly I am confused) Kiwi (+kiwifruit? it is round and brown and fuzzy, after all).Flycatcher (maybe the madagascar ones with the red or white males?).Drongo (flycatching birds that are excellent mimics).Cockatiel (electric because pikacheeks also gender diffs, color of head/tail etc).Mythological/Fantastic/Fairy Tale Creatures.Right now I just want to make sure it's available at all! One of these days I will do a more thorough job organizing these (and adding more links!), I swear. A few also have name suggestions if you're interested. Some of these come with a few links to Wikipedia, other articles, additional images or Tumblr posts for those that don't, well, you're bright cookies, aren't you? Wikipedia and Google should be plenty to get you started on researching your shiny new fakemon idea. Just because this list caters a little more to me personally doesn't mean the ideas here aren't free for anyone to use, of course! Trying to keep something like 'I want to base a fakemon on a Zyzzyva weevil' to myself is silly-the world probably can't have too many zyzzyva fakes, in fact-and also I'm hardly going to get to everything on this massive list anyway! That said, though, eventually you'll be able to use the headings and the links to IdeaDex post tags (tag index page here) to browse all the posted ideas that aren't on this list for one reason or another. It's also going to contain some ideas that have not been blogged about over on the IdeaDex because it's largely a carryover from a private pre-IdeaDex list. This is not necessarily going to contain every single idea that's appeared on the Phoenixdex or the IdeaDex in some form it's really a semi-personal list of the concepts that I think are particularly interesting or that I'd be most eager to work with. A list of ideas and concepts that might make interesting fakemon, free for you to use as inspiration whenever you like.
