Axew may draw inspiration from {{wp|Dicynodont}}s, tusked, reptile-like stem mammal from the {{wp|Permian}} era – most likely the smaller ''{{wp|Diictodon}}''. Its crest may also be based on the crests characteristic of {{wp|Hadrosauridae|hadrosaurids}} (''{{wp|Saurolophus}}'', specifically), or perhaps a {{wp|Corytophanidae|Corytophanid}} such as the {{wp|brown basilisk}}. Axew's tusks seem to be based on {{wp|Battle axe|axes}}.
Axew, as well as its final form Haxorus, is based in {{wp|dinosaur}}s. Its crest may be based on the crests characteristic of {{wp|Hadrosauridae|hadrosaurids}} (''{{wp|Saurolophus}}'', specifically), or perhaps a {{wp|Corytophanidae|Corytophanid}} such as the {{wp|brown basilisk}}. Axew's tusks seem to be based on {{wp|Battle axe|axes}}.


Axew's design was reverse-engineered from its evolved form Haxorus, which was one of the first Unova Pokémon to be designed.<ref>''Nintendo Dream'' Vol. 204, April 2011 ([https://web.archive.org/web/20110704155314/http://shellspider.blog101.fc2.com/blog-entry-502.html Shellspider's blog (Japanese)], [http://lavacutcontent.com/ken-sugimori-nintendo-dream-6/ Translation by Dr. Lava])</ref>
