Barraskewda seems to be based on a {{wp|barracuda}} and also resembles other large {{wp|predatory fish}} such as the {{wp|gar}}, the {{wp|houndfish}} and the {{wp|northern pike}}. It may also be based on {{wp|skewer}}s and {{wp|spear}}s, drawing some inspiration from {{wp|spearfishing}}. In addition, it shares traits with {{wp|torpedo}}es, such as its spinning propeller-like tail. | Barraskewda seems to be based on a {{wp|barracuda}} and also resembles other large {{wp|predatory fish}} such as the {{wp|gar}}, the {{wp|houndfish}} and the {{wp|northern pike}}.

The barracuda and torpedo elements together could be a reference to the {{wp|Fairey Barracuda}}, a {{wp|bomber}} {{wp|Military aircraft#Combat aircraft|aircraft}} built in Britain (the region Galar is based on) during {{wp|World War II}}. It carried and deployed large torpedoes that could travel up to {{tt|100 knots|185 kmph, 115 mph}}, Barraskewda's top speed. | ||
