Calyrex may be based on a {{wp|hare}} and a {{wp|Crown (headgear)|crown}}. The large bulbs on its head and around its neck resemble berries or flowers. It also bears some resemblance to fictional taxidermy creations, such as the American {{wp|jackalope}} or the German {{wp|wolpertinger}}. Its {{wp|Buddhist prayer beads|beads}} around its neck each bear the {{wp|Hōjō clan}} symbol. | Calyrex may be based on a {{wp|hare}} and a {{wp|Crown (headgear)|crown}}.
