-Rillaboom appears be based on a {{wp|gorilla}} with elements from {{wp|drummer}}s, most notably ''{{wp|Taiko}}'' drummers. Its behavior may reference the fact that gorillas {{wp|Drum#Animal drumming|make drumming sounds}} by beating their chests to show {{wp|Social dominance theory|social dominance}}. It may also take inspiration from the belief that music stimulates plant growth. Its size and ape-like appearance may also be partially influenced by the extinct ''{{wp|Gigantopithecus}}'', a prehistoric genus of apes. It might also be a reference to {{smw|Donkey Kong}} or the British band {{wp|Gorillaz}}.

This combined with Rillaboom's Grass typing may take inspiration from the belief that music stimulates plant growth.

 Rillaboom's [[Gigantamax]] form appears to draw inspiration from modern {{wp|rock music|rock}} drummers.
