It is possible the inspiration for Grumpig came from the proverb "do not cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under your feet." The pearls were supposed to represent wisdom given to an audience who wouldn't appreciate the teachings. Grumpig and {{p|Spoink}} appear to instead use those pearls of wisdom to enhance their mental powers. | It is possible the inspiration for Grumpig came from the proverb "do not cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under your feet."

It is also possible that Grumpig's manipulativeness, ability to walk on hind legs, and ability to perform human actions are derived from the character Napoleon, of George Orwell's ''Animal Farm''. | It is also possible that Grumpig's manipulativeness, ability to walk on hind legs, and ability to perform human actions are derived from the character Napoleon, of George Orwell's ''[[wp:Animal Farm|Animal Farm]]''. | ||
