Flutter Mane

Flutter Mane's origin

It was designed by Hitoshi Ariga, whose favorite Pokémon is its apparent relative Misdreavus. It may also draw on the bruxa, a vampire witch of Iberian folklore, or the similar Polish strzyga, and its winglike hair may reference Flying Heads, often shown with long hair and bat- or bird-like wings, or the Mapuche Chonchon, a sorcerer's detached head that flies using its ears.

Flutter Mane on cards

Flutter Mane has an SVP Black Star promo illustrated by Takumi Wada, and Temporal Forces gave it a Rare illustrated by kodama. Surging Sparks added an Uncommon printing, and Prismatic Evolutions brought back kodama for a further Rare Flutter Mane.
