Origin
Beheeyem is based on greys, one of the more popular kinds of alien. Its rocky physical appearance may be a reference to the stone circles of Europe, which were allegedly created by visiting extraterrestrials. The colored dots on its hands resembles the colorful faces of the invaders in the 1953 War of the Worlds film; the aliens in the film had green, blue and red dots just like Beheeyem's Shiny coloration. Judging from Elgyem's Pokédex entry, it and its evolution may also be based on the Area 51 alien conspiracies or the Roswell incident. It may also possibly be based off the idea of disguised aliens in trenchcoats, hats, and sunglasses, hiding in society.
Name origin
Beheeyem is derived from the acronym BEM, or "bug-eyed monster", an old-fashioned term for alien, pronounced as individual letters. The term was popularized in Japan by the anime Yōkai Ningen Bemu, and popularized in the UK by Doctor Who, most famously with the Daleks.
Oobemu is derived from orb and BEM, which is pronounced as a single word in Japanese. "Bemu" may also be a corruption of the English word beam, referencing tractor beams from UFOs.
