Kangaskhan seems to be based on a {{wp|kangaroo}} with elements of Mongolian {{wp|laminar armor}}, evident in its helmet-like plate with ear flaps and its epaulets. Its appearance may also be based on {{wp|Kaiju}}, possibly referencing unused Kaiju designs created during the early development of the first pokemon games.<ref>http://lavacutcontent.com/sugimori-masuda-developer-interview/</ref>.

It may also be based on a {{wp|tree-kangaroo}} given its stockier build, wider face, and larger nails in comparison to a terrestrial kangaroo, or the {{wp|procoptodon}}, an extinct prehistoric genus of terrestrial kangaroo known for their short faces, specifically the species of ''P. goliah'', the largest known kangaroo species to have ever lived.
