Jellicent and its pre-evolved form are most likely based on {{wp|jellyfish}}; Jellicent's size and bulbous body may be drawn from the genus {{wp|Stygiomedusa}}, also known as the giant phantom jelly, which is large in size and possesses fabric-like tentacles. It also shares traits with the {{wp|crown jellyfish}} and {{wp|jelly blubber}}). Jellicent's frills and collars seem to be based on typical monarch attire; the male's appearance is based on a king's while the female's is based on a queen's. | Jellicent and its pre-evolved form are most likely based on {{wp|jellyfish}}; Jellicent's size and bulbous body may be drawn from the genus {{wp|Stygiomedusa}}, also known as the giant phantom jelly, which is large in size and possesses fabric-like tentacles.
