Tropius resembles a generic {{wp|sauropod}}, a type of long-necked, herbivorous dinosaur. It may also draw inspiration from {{wp|Mokele mbembe}}, a legendary sauropod-like creature said to live in the jungles of the {{wp|Congo}} basin of Africa. Tropius also resembles a {{wp|banana plant}}. The fact that Tropius has legs may also reference the myth that Banana plants "walk". Although Banana plants do move, over a period of time, this is due to the fact that the [[wp: |pseudostems]] of the herb sprout further and further away from the original stem, and as the original stem and following pseudostems die, the surfaced plant will be located further from its original spot. Alternatively they could just be part of its Sauropod design. | Tropius resembles a generic {{wp|sauropod}}, a type of long-necked, herbivorous dinosaur.
