===Origin===
Mabosstiff seems to be based on the {{wp|mastiff}} breeds of dog. With its large build and long, dark coat, Mabosstiff particularly resembles the {{wp|Tibetan Mastiff}}, which is not a true mastiff breed despite its name; although Mabosstiff also seems to have traits derived from true mastiff breeds such as the {{wp|Pyrenean Mastiff}} and the {{wp|Spanish Mastiff}}. Its friendly behavior around children and {{a|Guard Dog|signature Ability}} invoke the general image of {{wp|livestock guardian dogs}}, a type of dog known for their friendliness and bred to protect livestock from predators. Many livestock guardian dogs are mastiff breeds.

Many livestock guardian dogs are mastiff breeds.


Mabosstiff's appearance, combined with its name, {{t|Dark}} type, and protective nature towards its family, may be derived from the archetypal looks and behaviors of leaders in organized crime families, such as the Italian {{wp|mafia}} and the Japanese {{wp|yakuza}}. It also slightly resembles an old person because of the grey eyebrows and fur on its head and back.
