Purugly is based on a wild {{wp|Little Spotted Cat|tiger cat}}, though its appearance is closer to an overweight {{wp|tabby|tabby cat}}. Based off of Purugly's traits (snobby personality, uses tail as a {{wp|corset}}, etc), resembles upper class women of the {{wp|Victorian Era}}. | Purugly is based on a wild {{wp|Little Spotted Cat|tiger cat}}, though its appearance is closer to an overweight {{wp|tabby|tabby cat}}.

Its English name comes from the words "purr" and "ugly". Its Japanese name may be derived from a combination of デブ ''debu'', fat, にゃ ''nya'', meow, and the English word "cat". Although considering the English name is Purugly, it is also likely the "bu" in Bunyatto comes from the word ''busaiku'' (不細工), which means "ugly". | Its English name comes from the words "purr" and "ugly".
