Tirtouga appears to be based on a baby {{wp|sea turtle}}, more specifically, a {{wp|leatherback sea turtle|leatherback}}. It also may be based on ''{{wp|Protostega}}'', a large, prehistoric sea turtle. It is one of the largest known species of turtles, second only to the ''{{wp|Archelon}}'', which its evolution, Carracosta, may be based on.
