Excadrill is based on a mole with characteristics of digging tools such as shovels and drills.
Name origin
Excadrill is a combination of "excavate" and "drill". Its Japanese name, Doryuzu, is likely a combination of ドリルズ Doriruzu, drills, and 竜 ryū, dragon, which is the reading of the second kanji on 土竜 mogura, mole, when by itself.
