Zarude mostly takes traits of various monkeys and apes such as mandrills, baboons, spider monkeys, and gorillas. It may get its {{type|grass}}-typing from how monkeys and apes often live in wooded or jungle areas that contain vines. It may also be based off of the aye-aye, a lemur that lives in Madagascar that was killed as it was thought to be evil, possibly explaining its {{type|dark}}-typing. It could also have been based on the Shuf Monkey from English folklore and the Carew Ape, a ghost who is said to haunt the Carew castle.
