Swadloon appears to be based on a leaf-rolling insect {{wp|pupa}} or prepupa such as a ''{{wp|Pamphilius}}'' {{wp|sawfly}} caterpillar or a {{wp|Lepidoptera|lepidopteran}} prepupa such as a {{wp|Epargyreus clarus|silver-spotted skipper}}. Many {{wp|Holometabolism|holometabolous}} insects fold leaves over themselves for camouflage and shelter in their immobile pupal stage, eventually use silk to stick the leaves together and form its chrysalis. The appearance of Swadloon hiding in its blanket bears some resemblance to the stereotypical portrayal of people suffering from ''{{wp|hikikomori}}'' (acute social anxiety disorder) syndrome in Japanese media. Its evolution into Leavanny (whose Japanese name is two kana away from "hikikomori") being caused by [[friendship]] may also be a lesson. | Swadloon appears to be based on a leaf-rolling insect {{wp|pupa}} or prepupa such as a ''{{wp|Pamphilius}}'' {{wp|sawfly}} caterpillar or a {{wp|Lepidoptera|lepidopteran}} prepupa such as a {{wp|Epargyreus clarus|silver-spotted skipper}}.
