Torterra has aspects of a {{wp|Chelydridae|snapping turtle}} and an {{wp|Ankylosauria|ankylosaur}}, armored dinosaurs. Its large features and spikes may also be inspired by extinct {{wp|Meiolania}} and {{wp|Proganochelys}} turtles. In concept, it may be based on the {{wp|World Turtle}}s in various mythologies that carry worlds upon their backs, or perhaps the {{wp|Black Tortoise}} of Asian legend. | Torterra has aspects of a {{wp|Chelydridae|snapping turtle}} and an {{wp|Ankylosauria|ankylosaur}}, armored dinosaurs.
