Cetitan appears to be based on various {{wp|Arctic}} cetaceans. Its general appearance and shape may be based on the {{wp|bowhead whale}} (also known as the polar whale or the icewhale), its white coloration and large head may be inspired by the {{wp|beluga}}, and its horns may draw inspiration from the {{wp|narwhal}}. Cetitan's horns may also be inspired by the bumps on the head of the {{wp|humpback whale}}, which is not native to the Arctic but is related to the bowhead, on account of them both being {{wp|baleen whale}}s. | Cetitan appears to be based on various {{wp|Arctic}} cetaceans.
