===Origin===
Granbull is likely based on an {{wp|bulldog}}, a dog breed that can appear fierce but is actually gentle. Bulldogs are often depicted as being used as {{wp|guard dog}}s, which may explain Granbull's thick collar and wristband/shackle-like markings. Its {{pkmn|category}}, [[Fairy (Egg Group)|Egg Group]], {{t|Fairy|type}}, and appearance may reference the {{wp|Cù-sìth}}, a creature in {{wp|Celtic mythology}} whose name means ''dog fairy'' and various grotesque mythical creatures such as {{wp|goblin}}s and {{wp|orc}}s.

Due to its large size, it is possible that Granbull may be based on large bulldog breeds, like for example: {{wp|Serrano Bulldog}}, {{wp|Ca de Bou}} and the {{wp|Alano Español}}.
