Keldeo is most likely based on the legend of the {{wp|kelpie}}, a supernatural water horse that sometimes appeared as a lost pony. Keldeo is also likely based on the {{wp|Qilin|kirin}} also referred to as the "Chinese {{wp|unicorn}}" which are often depicted with a single backwards curving horn and posses the ability to walk on water, and/or {{wp|Pegasus}}, a winged horse in Greek mythology that, in one myth, created the fountain {{wp|Hippocrene}} by chipping off part of {{wp|Mount Helicon}} with one of its hooves. This is somewhat similar to how Keldeo's hooves spout water like fountains. Keldeo also draws inspiration from the character of {{wp|d'Artagnan}} from the novel ''{{wp|The Three Musketeers}}''. Like d'Artagnan, it is the latest and youngest addition to the group. Keldeo's tail also resembles d'Artagnan's trademark feathered cap.
