Malamar is based on an upside-down {{wp|squid}}. Its body orientation and hypnosis ability may have been inspired by the {{wp|vampire squid}}'s abilities to invert its tentacles and produce light. It also somewhat resembles a {{wp|Owl|standard owl}}, which would symbolically relate to its distinctive wisdom/intelligence. | Malamar is based on an upside-down {{wp|squid}}.
