===Origin===
Similar to its pre-evolutions, Annihilape seems to take inspiration from primates, particularly {{wp|snub-nosed monkey}}s, {{wp|Japanese macaque}}s, and {{wp|baboon}}s due to its pig-like nose, proportions, and propensity for rage. Its general concept and added {{type|Ghost}} may have been inspired by {{p|Primeape}}'s [[Pokédex]] entry in {{pkmn|Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun}}, which states that Primeape can become so angry that it dies as a result. Additionally, it seems to be inspired by {{wp|onryō}}, vengeful spirits from Japanese folklore. It may take additional inspiration from the {{wp|Basajaun}}, a hairy apelike being from Basque folklore.
