Wimpod appears to be a combination of a {{wp|trilobite}} and an {{wp|isopod}} (possibly the genus ''{{wp|Ligia}}''). It also shares behavioral similarities with {{wp|silverfish}}, an insect commonly known to quickly flee from anything that startles it; and {{wp|copepod}}s, microscopic crustaceans that can swim at high speeds in an instant if they sense approaching predators. It being said to leave a sparkling clean path as it dashes may be inspired by certain {{wp|robotic vacuum cleaner}}s. | Wimpod appears to be a combination of a {{wp|trilobite}} and an {{wp|isopod}} (possibly the genus ''{{wp|Ligia}}'').
