Yungoos appears to be based on a {{wp|mongoose}}, such as the {{wp|small Asian mongoose}}, which was imported to {{wp|Hawaii}} to counter the rat problems on sugar cane plantations.
Yungoos appears to be based on a {{wp|mongoose}}, such as the {{wp|small Asian mongoose}}, which was imported to {{wp|Hawaii}} to counter the rat problems on sugar cane plantations.


However, the small Asian mongoose is diurnal while rats are nocturnal, thus the small Asian mongoose was ineffective at its intended role and became an {{wp|invasive species}}. This is reflected in-game by the fact that Yungoos can only be found during the day, while Alolan Rattata can only be found at night.
