Pawniard looks and acts similar to a traditional Japanese bandit—specifically a lackey or lower member—with features resembling ''{{wp|ashigaru}}'' armor. It may also originate from {{wp|samurai}}, due to its armor and blades; and ''kaijin'', humanoid villains found in Japanese {{wp|kaiju}} movies. Pawniard also has some traits of a pawn chess piece. | Pawniard looks and acts similar to a traditional Japanese bandit—specifically a lackey or lower member—with features resembling ''{{wp|ashigaru}}'' armor.
