Driplik may be based on a mudskipper and a tadpole with 2 legs only with the forelimb instead of the hindlimbs. Legendary variant is additionally based on a fire-elemental salamander and fire bellied newt in concept, and a fire-bellied toad, fire-coloring, lava, and blue fire in coloration.

### Name Origin

Driplik seems to be a combination of the word drip and a corruption of the word lick.

Potabero is combination of both ぽたぽた *potapota* (the Japanese onomatopoeia for dripping water) and ベロベロ *berobero* (the Japanese onomatopoeia for licking).
