By contrast, Galarian Slowking seems to draw inspiration from popular depictions of mythical sorcerers or {{wp|warlock}}s: its crown has morphed into a sorcerer's pointed hat, its elongated ruff seems akin to a long dark robe, and this regional variation has a predilection for "{{m|Eerie Spell|chanting mysterious spells}}" in battle.

Galarian Slowking might also be inspired by {{wp|erethism}} a disease which affected many hat makers in the Uk and France. Due to many hats in the 19th century being made with mercury, hat makers were exposed to large quantities of mercury causing them to go "mad" this is also where the Mad Hatter from {{wp|Alice in Wonderland}} takes its inspiration from.
