===Origin===
Simipour is based on a {{wp|monkey}} and a {{wp|fountain}}; because of this, it may have been inspired by the water dwelling, monkey-like creature {{wp|Ahuizotl}} or may be a visual pun on {{wp|Sea-Monkeys}}. The ability to store water in its hair may also reference the {{wp|Kappa (folklore)|Kappa}}, a Japanese reptilian {{wp|yōkai}} that stores water on a dish of sorts on it head. Its chest fur resembles that of a {{wp|volcano}} and may have possibly been based on {{wp|geyser}}s, {{wp|subaqueous volcano}}es, {{wp|cryovolcano}}es or the Guatemalan {{wp|Volcán de Agua}}. It, along with its two contemporaries, seem to inspired by the {{wp|three wise monkeys}} motif; with its eyes closed, Simipour represents "see no evil".

Its chest fur may otherwise possibly resemble the froth of a gushing waterfall, with its blue locks symbolizing the waterfall.
