Shelmet appears to be based on a combination of a {{wp|snail}}, possibly a {{wp|scaly-foot snail}}, whose shell's outer layer is made of iron compounds; and a {{wp|close helmet}}. This could be a reference to Medieval satirical drawings of snails, which are ironically depicted as giant monsters that knights fought against. It may also be based on a {{wp|nautilus}}, or a {{wp|geoduck}} due to its bivalve-like shell and long siphon. | Shelmet appears to be based on a combination of a {{wp|snail}}, possibly a {{wp|scaly-foot snail}}, whose shell's outer layer is made of iron compounds; and a {{wp|close helmet}}.

Karrablast | Shelmet and Karrablast's relationship may be a reference to {{wp|coevolution}}, where the evolution of one species is influenced by changes in another species; in this case, the relationship between predator and prey. | ||
