Due to its marine nature, physical appearance, and association with {{wp|shellfish}}, Slowpoke may be based on a {{wp|sea otter}}. Its appearance may also be based on {{wp|giant salamander}}s and {{wp|hippopotamus}}es. Its ability to grow a new tail if cut off may be inspired by the biological processes of {{wp|autotomy}} and {{wp|regeneration (biology)|regeneration}} seen in some species of {{wp|lizard}}s and {{wp|salamander}}s.
