NIGHTLY, HAWKTER, GENJAR (Dark/Flying) & Mega GENJAR (Dark/Fighting)
Convergent evolution line of GHASTLY, HAUNTER, GENGAR & Mega GENGAR.
They are nocturnal birds with the ability to imitate the cries of other pokemon, and even sounds made by humans, in order to attract unsuspecting prey into the dark forest and attack them by surprise.
They are mainly inspired by Nightjars, also known as nighthawks or frogmouths
GENJAR is also inspired in Owlbears from D&D
Mega GENJAR is based on the defensive posture owls will take when they feel threatened, ruffling their feathers and trying to look bigger and more intimidating

Black Capped Chickadee
Another common backyard bird, the Black Capped Chickadee actually has a hierarchy in the winter similar to what we thought the wolf had. They basically have a “pecking” order (pun intended), where some individuals’ foraging and behaviors will differ depending on where they are in the hierarchy. They are very brazen with humans, flying up to and eating straight from people’s hands. Learn More!
Tawny Frogmouth
Often mistaken with owls, the Tawny Frogmouth are not closely related to owls! They have large mouths, that they use to catch insects late at night. During the day, they morph their body to look similar to a branch, even swaying in the wind sometimes to mimic a branch. Learn More!
