Darmanitan's physical appearance is based on an {{wp|ape}} and the {{wp|Daruma doll}}. It is also likely based on the adage of the {{wp|three wise monkeys}}—"See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil"—as Darmanitan in their Zen Mode have their eyes become blank, their mouths shut tightly and their ears covered, sitting patiently in contrast to their bold posture in Standard Mode. Its Zen Mode may also be a direct reference to {{wp|Bodhidharma}}, achieving enlightenment. The varying presence of pupils between its Standard Mode and Zen Mode reflects the practice of painting in the {{wp|Daruma doll#Eyes|eyes of a Daruma doll}}, and their symbolic value in relation to goal fulfillment. | Darmanitan's physical appearance is based on an {{wp|ape}} and the {{wp|Daruma doll}}.

Galarian Darmanitan seems to be based on a mixture of a {{wp|snowman}}, a {{wp|yeti}}, and a {{wp|gorilla}}. Its Zen Mode is based on a snowman with a {{wp|firecracker}} for a nose. | |||
