Whismur appears to be based on a {{wp|rabbit}} or a {{wp|Stuffed toy|stuffed animal}} due to its small size and large ears. Its ears resemble {{wp|earmuffs}}, which are used to protect against loud noises. Its tendency to cry loudly when disturbed may be based on the behavior of an {{wp|infant}}. It may also be based on an electronic {{wp|amplifier}} since its tail resembles an {{wp|computer port (hardware)|input/output port}}. The curved yellow marking on its back resembles a stylized {{wp|sound}} wave on a volume icon.
