Arctozolt, like its counterparts, may be based on the {{wp|Crystal Palace Dinosaurs}}, a series of misassembled dinosaur sculptures displayed at the {{wp|Crystal Palace Park}}. It may reference the statue of an ''{{wp|Ichthyosaurus}}'' walking on land. In the case of Arctozolt, its top half appears to be based on a {{wp|Paraves|paravian}}, while its bottom half appears to be based mainly on an aquatic reptile, like a {{wp|Plesiosauria|plesiosaur}}, {{wp|mosasaur}}, {{wp|ichthyosaur}} or event some type of prehistoric aquatic mammal like the {{wp|Imagotaria}} or the {{wp|Odobenocetops}}.

The Pokédex entries for all the Galar Fossils mention them being the cause of their own extinction, which may be a reference to the outdated hypothesis that the dinosaurs were evolutionary inert, which made them get bigger, sluggish and stupider to the point they couldn't sustain themselves.
