Shinx resembles a {{wp|lion|lion}} cub or a {{wp|lynx|lynx}} kitten in appearance. It may have also been inspired by the mythical {{wp|sphinx}}, as its short face, human-like ears, and lion-like appearance and name are similar. It may have also been inspired by the constellation {{wp|Leo (constellation)|Leo}}, due to Shinx's lion-like appearance and the fact that it bears a signature star shape on the end of its tail.

Additionally, the Lynx constellation got its name from the fact that only the lynx-eyed, that is people with very good sight, could see it, alluding to {{wp|Lynx (mythology)|supernatural sight of lynxes}}.
