Woobat appears to be based on the {{wp|Honduran white bat}} (a white species of fruit bat) and a literal interpretation of a {{wp|heart-nosed bat}}. It also bears some resemblance to a {{wp|vampire bat}}, despite its difference in diet. Its shiny form's pale green coloration is likely inspired by the Honduran white bat's tent-making behavior, living beneath leaves that filter sunlight to give the bats a camouflaging greenish appearance. | Woobat appears to be based on the {{wp|Honduran white bat}} (a white species of fruit bat) and a literal interpretation of a {{wp|heart-nosed bat}}.

Woobat’s nose resembles a rubber stamp, befitting its signature move. | ||
