Trivia[]
Origin[]
It appears that Annihilape is based on monkeys from the order of primates, due to the Pokémon's general body structure and behavior.
Due to the Pokédex entry in Pokémon Sun mentioning that Primeape can grow so angry that they die, it is believed that, alongside Onryō from Japanese folklore, is what lead to the creation of Annihilape's design and type.
Annihilape's floating hair is a reference to the Japanese phrase dohatsu shoten, meaning "so angry that one's hair stands on its ends to the high heavens". Dohatsu gains its inspiration from Japanese Buddhist art depictions of ashura, the reincarnation of overly ambitious people and prideful warriors as demigods of immense wrath and neverending strife.
Etymology[]
Annihilape is derived from "annihilate" and "ape".
