Crocalor resembles a {{wp|crocodile}}, and the "nest" on top of its head resembles a {{wp|Easter mona|Mona de Pascua}}, a traditional Spanish cake from Catalonia sometimes served with a hard-boiled egg or egg-shaped confectionery on top; but it could also vaguely resemble a bouquet of {{wp|Tagetes erecta|Mexican marigold}}, or a {{wp|sombrero}} hat. Its affinity towards vocal performance and its overall appearance, especially the vest design on its chest, make it vaguely similar to a {{wp|mariachi}} player. It also loosely resembles {{wp|La Calavera Catrina}}, given the {{wp|calavera}} pattern on its face and the sombrero. Crocalor caring for an "egg" atop its head may also be inspired by the observed maternal behavior in crocodiles. | Crocalor resembles a {{wp|crocodile}}, and the "nest" on top of its head resembles a {{wp|Easter mona|Mona de Pascua}}, a traditional Spanish cake from Catalonia sometimes served with a hard-boiled egg or egg-shaped confectionery on top; but it could also vaguely resemble a bouquet of {{wp|Tagetes erecta|Mexican marigold}}, or a {{wp|sombrero}} hat.

Its Fire typing may be inspired by the fact that crocodiles release excess heat through their mouths. | ||
