 Dondozo seems to be based on the {{wp|wels catfish}}, a large species of {{wp|catfish}} that is native to Europe and was introduced to Spain. Its {{Shiny}} coloration resembles an {{wp|albino}} wels catfish. The presence of bird Pokémon in Dondozo's diet may be inspired by the wels catfish's hunting behavior, as some individuals have been known to successfully hunt terrestrial birds by beaching themselves. 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 its tongue which resembles a ''{{wp|ja:寿司下駄|sushi geta}}''. Its 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 many species of fish–including some catfish species–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.
