Rowlet is based on an {{wp|owl}}, sharing the most similarities with members of the {{wp|Barn-owl|Tytonidae}} family — species collectively known as "barn owls" that have heart-shaped faces and dark eyes. In particular, it closely resembles the {{wp|Barn owl|common barn owl}}, which was introduced to [[wikipedia:Hawaii|Hawaii]], the region which [[Alola]] was based on. Alternatively, it may be inspired by the {{wp|Eastern grass owl}} or the {{wp|African grass owl}}, along with the local {{wp|Pueo|pueo owl}} that is known for flying over grassy areas on the {{wp|Hawaiian Islands}}, hence its {{t|Grass}} typing. Its round body without {{wp|ear tuft}} may also draw inspiration from {{wp|tawny owl}}s or {{wp|boreal owl}}s. | Rowlet is based on an {{wp|owl}}, sharing the most similarities with members of the {{wp|Barn-owl|Tytonidae}} family — species collectively known as "barn owls" that have heart-shaped faces and dark eyes.
