 Drifloon appears to be based on a {{wp|balloon}}. The yellow shape around its mouth resembles a puncture bandage (its mouth being the puncture), the white puff on its head resembles a {{wp|cloud}}, and its heart-shaped feet resemble the weights on the strings of {{wp|gas balloon|helium balloon}}s. It also resembles the {{wp|Ctenophora|comb jelly}}, specifically the {{wp|Tentaculata}}. It may also be based on {{wp|space jellyfish}} (also known as atmospheric jellyfish), an atmospheric phenomenon caused by rocket launches that are often mistaken for {{wp|cryptids}} or UFO sightings.
-As a concept of a {{type|Ghost}} balloon, it may have been inspired by some ''{{wp|Kaidan}}'' ghost stories, where ghosts and spirits have been compared to balloons.  In particular it may have been inspired by the anime and manga series ''{{wp|Inuyasha}}'''s depiction of the ''Tatarimokke'', a spirit which in Japanese mythology is typically an owlish ghost but in ''Inuyasha'' was depicted as a balloon-like ghost that drags children into the afterlife.
