Eelektross and its evolutionary relatives also bear a strong resemblance to s, known as 八目鰻 yatsume unagi (literally "eight-eyed eel") in Japanese. Eelektross's four-toothed mouth may be based off of the oral disc of a lamprey, and the spots on its sides may be an allusion to a lamprey's gill slits.
Its typing may be an allusion to . Additionally, its manner of moving in the air with an open mouth may be inspired by s, perhaps specifically , a type of fish-shaped windsock flown to celebrate Children's Day in Japan.

Shibirudon may be a combination of 痺れ shibire (numbness) or 痺鰻 shibire-unagi (electric eel) and don (Spanish for lord) or -don (common suffix in dinosaur names derived from the Ancient Greek word for tooth).
