-Dondozo seems to be based on a {{wp|catfish}}, such as the {{wp|wels catfish}} that is native to Europe and was introduced to Spain. Dondozo may also be based on a {{wp|sushi}} chef, considering its relationship with {{p|Tatsugiri}}, the frills on its head which resemble a bandana or headband commonly worn as part of a sushi chef's uniform, and Dondozo's tongue which resembles a ''{{wp|ja:寿司下駄|sushi geta}}''. Dondozo's face also somewhat resembles that of a {{wp|smooth-head blobfish}}.

 Dondozo keeping Tatsugiri inside its mouth may be a reference to {{wp|Mouthbrooder|mouth-brooding}}, a parenting style performed by some species of catfish where the parent fish will keep their offspring safe by holding them inside their mouth. Dondozo's low smarts and larger size compared to Tatsugiri, combined with their synergy together, seem to reference the common [https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BrainsAndBrawn "Brains and Brawn" team-up] trope in media. Tatsugiri acting as the boss supports this, as the "Brains" is most often the leader in these team-ups.
