Cetitan appears to be based on various several species of cetaceans especially {{wp|right whale}}s. Right whales and Cetitan shares anatomical similarities including highly arched mouths, round body without dorsal fin, and torsos without ventral grooves. Cetitan's horns that are on lower jaw and nostril and above eyes also correspond with that of callosities of right whales.

Descriptions of [[Cetoddle]] to be naturally friendly and drop [[Cetoddle Grease]] on occasions and Cetitan to possess thick fats also resemble the history of right whales; right whales were named because they were "right whales to hunt" for their blubber because of their inquisitiveness and calmness. {{wp|Iberian Peninsula}}, the inspiration source of [[Paldea]], is known for its history of whaling of {{wp|North Atlantic right whale}}s; the species is called ''Balea Vasca'' in Spanish, meaning "whales of {{wp|Basque}}", and became virtually extinct in European and African waters due to centuries of commercial exploitations. | ||
{{wp|Arctic}} cetaceans may also have inspired the Pokémon. 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. | {{wp|Arctic}} cetaceans may also have inspired the Pokémon.
