Cetitan appears to be based on multiple different cetaceans native to the {{wp|Arctic}}. Its general appearance and shape seems to be based on the {{wp|bowhead whale}} (also known as the polar whale or the icewhale), its white coloration and large head may be inspired by the {{wp|beluga}}, and its horns may draw inspiration from the {{wp|narwhal}}. | Cetitan appears to be based on multiple different cetaceans native to the {{wp|Arctic}}.

It may also draw inspiration from the ''{{wp|Ningen (folklore)|ningen}}'', bipedal, whale-like cryptids of Japanese folklore. | |||
