Mabosstiff seems to be based on the {{wp|mastiff}} breeds of dog. Considering that it was first introduced in the Iberian-based [[Paldea]], as well as its large build, coloration, and characteristically big dewlap, Mabosstiff particularly draws from the {{wp|Spanish Mastiff}}. Mabosstiff's dark color and intimidating appearance alongside its mafia theming could have been inspired by the {{wp|Cane Corso}} (an Italian mastiff), and it also seems to have traits derived from similar breeds such as the {{wp|Pyrenean Mastiff}} or the {{wp|Tibetan Mastiff}} ( | Mabosstiff seems to be based on the {{wp|mastiff}} breeds of dog.

Its friendly behavior around children and {{a|Guard Dog|signature Ability}} invoke the general image of {{wp|livestock guardian dog}}s, a type of dog known for their friendliness and bred to protect livestock from predators. 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. | 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}}.
