Honchkrow is based on a {{wp|crow}} or {{wp|raven}}. With its bulkier, more powerful appearance, Honchkrow looks much more like a raven than its pre-evolved form does, but its coloration resembles that of the {{wp|hooded crow}}. While Murkrow appears to be based on witches of western folklore, Honchkrow's appearance is reminiscent of a {{wp|crime boss}}, giving a new interpretation to Murkrow as a gang member under Honchkrow. Its crest even looks like a wide-brimmed {{wp|fedora}} hat, an article of clothing often associated with mobsters. However, Honchkrow's tail does resemble a {{wp|besom}} broom, which has long been connected with witchcraft, and its hat- and beard-like feathers also give the impression of a sorcerer or wizard. The design of Honchkrow's hat could also take inspiration from the hardened crests likened to that of the {{wp|great hornbill}} and the {{wp|cassowary}}. | Honchkrow is based on a {{wp|crow}} or {{wp|raven}}.
