Munkidori may be based on a {{wp|monkey}}, particularly the {{wp|Japanese macaque}}, such as the northermost Japanese macaque from {{wp|Aomori Prefecture}}. This is sort of reflected with its [[Shiny Pokémon|Shiny]] form, which gives it a slight tanned fur coat similar to Japanese macaques. Its regular coloration resembles a {{wp|chimpanzee}}. The chain on its forehead resembles a headband. Its mischievous personality and Psychic typing could be a reference to the {{wp|Satori}}, a {{wp|yokai}} that takes the form of a mind-reading monkey and torments travelers.
Munkidori may be based on a {{wp|monkey}}, particularly the {{wp|Japanese macaque}}, such as the northernmost Japanese macaque population from {{wp|Aomori Prefecture}}. This is partly reflected with its {{Shiny}} form, which gives it a slight tanned fur coat similar to Japanese macaques. Its regular coloration resembles a {{wp|chimpanzee}}. The chain on its forehead resembles a headband. Its mischievous personality and Psychic typing could be a reference to the {{wp|Satori}}, a {{wp|yokai}} that takes the form of a mind-reading monkey and torments travelers.


Munkidori, together with {{p|Okidogi}}, {{p|Fezandipiti}}, and {{p|Ogerpon}}, may reference the Japanese folktale of ''{{wp|Momotarō}}''. The tale relates the titular Momotarō, a boy born from inside a peach, who traveled alongside a talking dog, monkey, and pheasant to fight a band of ''{{wp|oni}}'' (a Japanese folkloric creature commonly equated to ogres in translations). The purple chain could be based on a {{wp|shimenawa}}.
