Polteageist may be based on a {{wp|poltergeist}}, a mischievous ghost that possesses objects, and a {{wp|teapot}} and {{wp|black tea}}. It  may also be inspired by the idea of a {{wp|Jinn|genie}}, which are often depicted as residing in {{wp|oil lamp}}s. Its forms may be based on Teapot forgeries being done in Britain. Polteageist pouring its body into teacups to create {{p|Sinistea}} could be a reference to the act of pouring tea from a teapot into a cup, which is then drunk from. Additionally it may be based on the yokai Morinji-no-okama.
