Desukaan's design is based off a {{wp|sarcophagus}}. It was also most likely based on {{wp|Curse of the pharaohs|supposedly cursed egyptian tombs}}. Any trespassers in the tombs are said to fall under a "curse" from its owner, which is said to cause illness, serious injury, or death. The hype of cursed tombs was made popular when many people in a team of explorers in 1922, who had recently opened and entered {{wp|Tutankhamun|King Tutankhamun's tomb}}, began dying after the exploration. Desukaan's ability to passively turn other Pokémon into mummies that in turn transform other Pokémon into mummies is very similar to the popular culture depiction of the spread of a "zombie virus" in horror films. | Desukaan's design is based off a {{wp|sarcophagus}}.
