 The horn-like spikes on Qwilfish's forehead along with its general body shape may also be a reference to {{wp|boxfish}} and cowfish species like the {{wp|longhorn cowfish}}. When stressed, cowfish can exude a deadly toxin in the mucous secretions of their skin, similar to how Hisuian Qwilfish is known for spraying poison and getting it everywhere.
-Hisuian Qwilfish's {{type|Dark}} might be based on the illegalisation of the {{wp|fugu}} dish, due to its toxicity, and the following illegal preparation and consumption of said dish. The law was put in place a few times in Japanese history (and eventually repealed each time), including the 1800's, when ''{{g|Legends: Arceus}}'' [[Pokémon world in relation to the real world#Sinnoh|appears to take place]]. The illegal fugu market continued and thrived for so long that the governing {{wp|shogun}}ate became incapable of enforcing the law, which might have inspired Hisuian Qwilfish being troublesome for fishermen, and could be a parallel to the lionfish's invasive status, as neither the dish, the lionfish, nor the Pokémon could be controlled. Hisuian Qwilfish and Overqwil appear to be rarer in recent times, which could be a reference to porcupinefish being threatened due to overfishing for the fugu dish.

 The marking on Hisuian Qwilfish's tail looks like the lowercase "q" letter. On its evolved form, {{p|Overqwil}}, the same marking turns into the uppercase "Q". These may stand for their English names.
