Jellicent and its pre-evolution were most likely inspired by the {{wp|Nurarihyon}}, a {{wp|jellyfish}} {{wp|youkai}} that is either shown as a demonized jellyfish or as a jellyfish-like man who wears refined, sometimes regal, clothing. It is also possible that they | Jellicent and its pre-evolution were most likely inspired by the {{wp|Nurarihyon}}, a {{wp|jellyfish}} {{wp|youkai}} that is either shown as a demonized jellyfish or as a jellyfish-like man who wears refined, sometimes regal, clothing. It is also possible that they were inspired by the Kurage no Hinotama, a sort of jellyfish-like {{wp|will-o'-the-wisp}}. Its design is inspired by the jellyfish, in particular the {{wp|Crown Jellyfish}}, and monarch attire; the male form's appearance is based on a king's while the female's is based on a queen's. The {{wp|Aurelia aurita|Moon Jellyfish}} may have influenced Jellicent being a ghost type. Its dangerous ability to prey on humans, in self-defense of its habitat, is possibly based on the {{wp|Box jellyfish}} and other highly venomous species of jellyfish that can kill humans. The two larger tentacles Jellicent possesses are more similar to those of {{wp|squids}} than the tentacles of real jellyfish. Jellicent also has traits in common with {{wp|sea monsters}} like the {{wp|Kraken}}, most notably its rumored penchant for destroying ships and feeding on the crew. | ||
