Falinks may be inspired by a group of soldiers in the {{wp|phalanx}} formation - where each unit are lined up close together and cover all sides with their shields. The individual units resemble {{wp|Sparta|Spartan}} helmets during the period of {{wp|Ancient Rome}}, adorned with golden plates and red crests. Their limbs are much like shields. | Falinks may be inspired by a group of soldiers in the {{wp|phalanx}} formation - where each unit are lined up close together and cover all sides with their shields.

It may also take inspiration from {{wp|Eusociality}}, a kind of social animal behavior found in certain insects, crustaceans and mammals characterized by, amongst other things, the division o labor of the members of the colony, which are sometimes called castes, like soldiers, workers and the queen. In Falinks' case, the castes are the troopers and the brass. | ||
