Eternatus's extraterrestrial nature and {{wp|dragon}}-like appearance may be inspired by {{wp|Uther Pendragon}}, {{wp|King Arthur}}'s father, who acquired his {{wp|epithet}} and started using dragons on his {{wp|Heraldic flag#Standard|standards}} after witnessing a dragon-shaped comet. Its abilities may also draw inspiration from {{wp|nuclear power}}, particularly its seemingly endless supply of energy which [[Rose]] attempted to use as a power source for [[Galar]] and which leaks out in the form of particles and is the source of the Dynamax phenomenon. In fiction, nuclear radiation is often used as a catalyst for granting superpowers or creating ''{{wp|kaiju}}'', most famously {{wp|Godzilla}}. | Eternatus's extraterrestrial nature and {{wp|dragon}}-like appearance may be inspired by {{wp|Uther Pendragon}}, {{wp|King Arthur}}'s father, who acquired his {{wp|epithet}} and started using dragons on his {{wp|Heraldic flag#Standard|standards}} after witnessing a dragon-shaped comet.

In fiction, nuclear radiation is often used as a catalyst for granting superpowers or creating ''{{wp|kaiju}}'', most famously {{wp|Godzilla}}. It also vaguely resembles aliens from various pieces of media such as the ones from the ''{{wp|Alien (franchise)|Alien}}'' film series. This is also indicated by its association with wishing stars. Eternatus aesthetically seems to also be inspired by the concept of {{wp|diaphonization}}, the technique used to stain animal bones and cartilage. This being shown by Eternatus remotely resembling a skeleton. The most common dyes used for this process, alcian blue and alizarin red, could be analogous to Zacian and Zamazenta respectively. | ||
Its overall body shape resembles the skeletal remains of a {{wp|European dragon}}, with the ribcage shaped like a cannon and the head resembling that of the common nawab or "dragonhead" caterpillar. | Its overall body shape resembles the skeletal remains of a {{wp|European dragon}}, with the ribcage shaped like a cannon and the head resembling that of the common nawab or "dragonhead" caterpillar. | ||
