 ===Origin===
-Qwilfish is based on both {{wp|Tetraodontidae|pufferfish}} and {{wp|porcupinefish}}. Its ability to shoot its toxic quills somewhat resembles explosions, which could mean it may have been based on a {{wp|naval mine}}.
+Qwilfish seems to be based on {{wp|Tetraodontidae|pufferfish}} or {{wp|porcupinefish}}, which inflate their bodies when threatened and are covered in {{wp|spine}}s. Many species are incredibly toxic when ingested, which explains Qwilfish's {{t|Poison}} type. However, its ability to directly inject venom through its spines is similar to a {{wp|lionfish}}. It is also reminiscent of a {{wp|naval mine}} due to its round body and ability to {{m|Explosion|explode}}.

+Qwilfish may be a combination of ''quill'' and ''fish''.
 Harysen may be a shortening of 針千本 ''harisenbon'' ({{wp|porcupinefish}}). An [[List of unused Pokémon and character designs|early version]] of Qwilfish was called Bukū, which may be a corruption of 河豚 ''{{wp|fugu}}'' ({{wp|pufferfish}}).
