Nihilego may be inspired by a {{wp|jellyfish}}, especially ''{{wp|Aurelia aurita}}''. It may also draw inspiration from {{wp|Myxozoa}}, a class of microscopic Cnidarian parasites, particularly the ''{{wp|Myxobolus cerebralis}}'' that are known to infect "whirling disease" in various fish species. The disease causes the fish to develop bone and neurological abnormalities that cause them to swim in a corkscrew-like "whirling" motion. | Nihilego may be inspired by a {{wp|jellyfish}}, especially ''{{wp|Aurelia aurita}}''.

It could also draw some design from [[Lillie]] due to its "sunhat" being similar to Lillie's. | ||
The merged form of Lusamine and Nihilego may be based on {{wp|Turritopsis dohrnii}}, a species of jellyfish that is biologically immortal and can revert to a young, immature state if it is too old or stressed. | The merged form of Lusamine and Nihilego may be based on {{wp|Turritopsis dohrnii}}, a species of jellyfish that is biologically immortal and can revert to a young, immature state if it is too old or stressed. | ||
