ORIGIN CRAMORANT MAY BE BASED ON TWO COMMON SEABIRDS PRESENT IN THE BRITISH ISLES, THE CORMORANT AND THE FULMAR, A BIRD THAT USES DEFENSIVE VOMITING TO TURN AWAY PREDATORS; INSPIRATION FROM THE LATTER MAY ALSO JUSTIFY ITS PRIMARY FLYING TYPE, AS LIKE MOST PETRELS, FULMARS SPEND MOST OF THEIR LIVES ON THE WING. ITS ABILITY MAY ALSO DRAW INSPIRATION FROM CORMORANT FISHING, AN ANCIENT FISHING TECHNIQUE THAT CONSISTS OF USING TRAINED CORMORANTS TO FISH AND FORCING THE BIRD TO SPIT THE FISH UP. THE PLUMAGE ON ITS NECK MAY BE INSPIRED BY BIBS. NAME ORIGIN CRAMORANT MAY BE A COMBINATION OF CRAM AND CORMORANT. UU MAY BE A COMBINATION OF ウッ U~ (SOUND OF CHOKING OR GASPING) AND 鵜 U (CORMORANT).
