Haxorus is based on dinosaurs. The design came from the idea of a Pokémon that swings its axe-like fangs to attack instead of biting, a behavior reportedly stemming from actual dinosaurs.<ref name=ND204/> The specific dinosaur may be the {{wp|Dicynodont}}s, tusked {{wp|synapsid}}s with thick hides from the {{wp|Permian}} era, most likely ''{{wp|Placerias}}''. Haxorus's tusks in particular resemble {{wp|battle axe}} blades. | Haxorus is based on dinosaurs.
