Tarountula may be based on the {{wp|orb-weaver spider}} alongside members of the {{wp|Uloboridae}} family, which are non-venomous and wrap their prey in bundles of silk.

Its silk-covered abdomen evokes a yarn ball and may serve as a literal take on an "orb-weaver", although it may also be based on the spherical pods that ''{{wp|Deinopis}}'' spiders create to shelter their eggs — especially as its evolution {{p|Spidops}} appears to be primarily based on these spiders. Tarountula's {{Shiny}} coloration resembles the [[Destiny Knot]]. | ||
