Terapagos may be based on a {{wp|sea turtle}}, specifically the {{wp|Green sea turtle#Galápagos green turtle|Galápagos green turtle}}, a population of green sea turtles found around the {{wp|Galápagos Islands}}. It may also be based on the {{wp|Galápagos tortoise}}; in particular, it may be inspired by {{wp|Lonesome George}}, the last {{wp|Pinta Island Tortoise}} (a subspecies of Galápagos tortoise), as Terapagos is said to be extinct aside from a lone male survivor. The Terastal Form's hairy appearance may be a reference to Japanese legends of the ''{{wp|Cultural depictions of turtles#Japan|minogame}}'', a turtle which lived for 10,000 years and grew a tail made of {{wp|seaweed}}. | Terapagos may be based on a {{wp|sea turtle}}, specifically the {{wp|Green sea turtle#Galápagos green turtle|Galápagos green turtle}}, a population of green sea turtles found around the {{wp|Galápagos Islands}}.
