Cetitan (Japanese: ハルクジラ Harukujira) is an Ice-type Pokémon introduced in Generation IX.
Biology
Cetitan is a large cetacean Pokémon. It has a white piscine body with large forelimbs and legs, and pink accents around its eyes, forepaws and tail. The tail has two pairs of fins protruding from either side. It also has a gray underside with circular white accents, as well as gray accents on its armpits, and two large gray claws on each foot. Cetitan has five horns: two on the top of its head, and three around its mouth. The singular horn on its upper jaw allows it to gather ice energy and freeze its surroundings.[1]
Cetitan has tough muscles, which allow it to support its weight and attack with immense physical power. It also has a thick layer of subcutaneous fat, which helps it migrate around snowy areas.[1]
Trivia
Origin
Cetitan appears to be based on multiple different cetaceans native to the Arctic. Its general appearance and shape seems to be based on the bowhead whale (also known as the polar whale or the icewhale), its white coloration and large head may be inspired by the beluga, and its horns may draw inspiration from the narwhal.
It may also draw inspiration from the ningen, bipedal, whale-like cryptids of modern Japanese folklore.
Name origin
Cetitan may be a combination of cetacean or Cetus and titan.
Harukujira may be a combination of hulk and 鯨 kujira (whale).
