Its design appears to be a stylized {{wp|sea turtle}} with features of {{wp|tortoise}}s.  Its feathery tail is a reference to Japanese legends of the minogame (蓑亀), a turtle which lived for 10,000 years and grew a tail made of seaweed.  It use of its tail to store oxygen seems to be a reference to certain turtles that breathe through their cloaca, placed near the tail.
