Spiritomb is based on a Jibakurei, a spirit bound to a single place. It is also based on a {{wp|Buddhist}} tradition performed on {{wp|New Year's Eve}} in Japan. A bell is rung 108 times to chase away the 108 temptations in order to achieve Nirvana. The wisps of spirits surrounding its face also resemble a set of prayer beads, a possible reference to {{wp|Japa}}. It may also be based on a crystal ball. | Spiritomb is based on a Jibakurei, a spirit bound to a single place.
