Karrablast may be based on the Japanese Snail-eating Beetle (''{{wp|Carabus blaptoides blaptoides}}'') due to its penchant for attacking {{wp|Shelmet}}, a snail-like Pokémon.

Karrablast and Shelmet may be a reference to ''{{wp|coevolution}}'', where the evolution of one species is influenced by changes in another, closely related species. In this case, the relationship between predator and prey.

Karrablast may be a combination of κέρατο ''kérato'' (Greek for ''horn'') and ''plastron'' (the underside of a shelled creature). It may also be a corruption of ''Carabidae'', the family of {{wp|ground beetle}}s.
