Trumbeak (Kerarappa)

Trumbeak appears to be based on a woodpecker, most likely a Pileated woodpecker or an Ivory-billed woodpecker. It also bears some resemblance to a toco toucan and honeyguides. Its ability to change its call by bending its beak may be reminiscent of that of a trombone, which work by altering the length of the slide.
Name origin

Trumbeak may be a combination of trumpet and beak.
Kerarappa may be a combination of 啄木鳥 keratsutsuki (woodpecker) and 喇叭 rappa (trumpet).

Trumbeak is an avian Pokémon with black feathers. It has a long beak that tapers to a sharp point. The majority of its beak is orange, changing to light red and then black at the tip. The beak is flexible, and can produce a variety of calls by bending. It has round blue eyes and pale gray eyebrows. Pointed feathers extend from the back of its head and form a short crest. A white marking covers its face and extends down over its chest; the undersides of its wings are also white. Around its neck is a jagged, red band, and it has long tail with three tail feathers. It has spindly blue legs with two toes facing forward and two facing backward. This Pokémon feeds on berries. It stores the seeds in its beak and uses them as ammunition against both enemies and prey.
