Cryogonal's appearance seems to be based on both {{wp|snowflake}}s and {{wp|ice crystals}}. The ability to trap prey in ice crystals may be a reference to {{wp|Hrimthurs}}, Nordic giants who were made of ice, who also have this ability. Because of its back sprite and ability to learn several light-based moves it may also be based on a glass mirror. Its high Special Defense and Special Attack stats may be a pun on the phrase "special snowflake".
