Design History

(click thumbnail to enlarge.)

Nekhetura 1.0 (c. 2009)
Like the original Vulkhet, it's just kinda dull. More of a cartoon vulture than a Pokémon. Also those wing sizes are kinda wonky, oops.
Nekhetura 2.0 (2022)
In addition to being more colorful, this design tweaks some of the feather shapes/arrangements to draw inspiration from various ancient Egyptian images and symbols, including a crest that's slightly reminiscent of a hedjet (white crown).
