According to designer Hitoshi Ariga, he decided to design Pokémon based on sauropods to pair with {{p|Tyrantrum}}'s evolutionary line, and ''Amargasaurus'' was chosen as a base to differentiate it from other long-necked dinosaur-like Pokémon such as {{p|Lapras}}, {{p|Meganium}}, or {{p|Deino}}.<ref>[https://twitter.com/ariga_megamix/status/458627994395762689 Tweet by ありがひとし/ArigaHitoshi (@ariga_megamix).] Posted on April 22, 2014.</ref> Amaura also shares traits with various other species of {{wp|Diplodocoidea}} (a classification of sauropods which includes ''Amargasaurus''). | Amaura is based on a young {{wp|Sauropod|sauropod}} dinosaur, specifically the ''{{wp|Amargasaurus}}'', which were speculated to have skin sail extensions on their vertebral spines.

The color-changing sails upon | The color-changing sails upon Amaura's head appear to be based on {{wp|aurora}}s, which are predominantly seen in polar regions and are most visible at night; these may also inspire Amaura's {{type|Ice}} and the fact that it can only evolve at night. | ||
