Baxcalibur may draw inspiration from ''{{wp|kaiju}}''. Its upright posture may allude to how most ''kaiju'' are humanoid in shape, due to the need to fit a human actor inside the {{wp|creature suit}} in ''kaiju'' films. It also has traits of certain species of dinosaurs, most notably ''{{wp|Concavenator}}'', a theropod dinosaur which had a crest on its back and quills on its forelimbs. Fossils of the genus were first discovered in Spain, and the crest is hypothesized to have functioned as a tool of {{wp|thermoregulation}}. | Baxcalibur may draw inspiration from ''{{wp|kaiju}}''.

In particular, its use of its frost breath to propel itself forward during {{m|Glaive Rush}} resembles Godzilla's use of its atomic heat ray to fly in ''{{wp|Godzilla vs. Hedorah}}''.

Baxcalibur may also be based on other sail-backed prehistoric animals, most notably ''{{wp|Spinosaurus}}'', ''{{wp|Ouranosaurus}}'', ''{{wp|Arizonasaurus}}'', and ''{{wp|Dimetrodon}}''. The diamond shape of its sail may allude to the plates on the back of {{wp|stegosaurid}}s. Its overall design may also reference old depictions of non-avian {{wp|theropod}} dinosaurs in {{wp|paleoart}}. Based on Baxcalibur's name and the way it utilizes its sail through the move {{m|Glaive Rush}}, it can be concluded that this sail is inspired by some kind of sword or axe. | Baxcalibur may also be based on other sail-backed prehistoric animals, most notably ''{{wp|Spinosaurus}}'', ''{{wp|Ouranosaurus}}'', ''{{wp|Arizonasaurus}}'', and ''{{wp|Dimetrodon}}''.
