Darmanitan appears to be based on {{wp|gorilla}}s, {{wp|orangutan}}s, and the {{wp|Daruma doll}}. It is may also be based on the adage of the {{wp|three wise monkeys}}—"See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil"—as Darmanitan in their Zen Mode have their eyes become blank, their mouths shut tightly and their ears covered, sitting patiently in contrast to their bold posture in Standard Mode. Its Zen Mode may be based on {{wp|Bodhidharma}}, achieving enlightenment. The varying presence of pupils between its Standard Mode and Zen Mode reflects the practice of painting in the {{wp|Daruma doll#Eyes|eyes of a Daruma doll}}, and their symbolic value in relation to goal fulfillment.

In addition to the origins of its original form, Galarian Darmanitan seems to be based on the {{wp|yeti}}. Its Zen Mode is appears to based on a {{wp|snowman}}, known as a 雪だるま ''yukidaruma'' in Japanese, with a {{wp|firecracker}} for a nose. Its {{type|Fire}} may be a reference to {{wp|atavism}}, the reappearance of an ancestral trait after having been lost through evolutionary change in previous generations.
