Sneasel appears to be based on the ''{{wp|kamaitachi}}'', weasel demons with sickles on their front legs. It also shares similar traits with {{wp|cat}}s and {{wp|weasel}}s, from unusually cruel behaviors to even superstition, from cat demons or {{wp|black cats}} of Western witchcraft, to Japanese superstition of weasels, being known in their respective cultures for being sneaky and associated with "evil" and misfortune. Its eye markings are similar to that of ones in Egyptian style, possibly {{wp|Eye of Horus|Horus's}}. | Sneasel appears to be based on the ''{{wp|kamaitachi}}'', weasel demons with sickles on their front legs.
