Mareep appears to be simply based on a {{wp|sheep}}. Its yellowish wool might be inspired by the {{wp|golden fleece}} in Greek and Roman mythology. It is also likely that its electric type is a reference on how wool is able to build up static charges. Mareep, and its evolutions, may also have been based on the title of the science fiction novel ''{{wp|Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?}}''.
