Cetoddle appears to be based on various {{wp|Arctic}} cetaceans. Its general appearance and shape may be based on the {{wp|bowhead whale}} (also known as the polar whale or the icewhale), its white coloration and large head may be inspired by the {{wp|beluga}}, and its singular horn may draw inspiration from the {{wp|narwhal}}. It also appears to be based on toddlers.

Cetoddle's history of migrating from the ocean and adapting to living on land is an inverse of {{wp|Evolution of cetaceans|how cetaceans evolved in real life}}, as they started out as land animals that migrated into and adapted in the water. Cetoddle may also draw inspiration from the ニンゲン ''{{wp|Ningen (folklore)|ningen}}'', which are bipedal, whale-like cryptids of modern Japanese folklore.
