Incineroar is clearly based on the feces of a domestic canine. You don't even need to look into little details, one look should be enough. It's pretty neat.

>>33315491
Apologize right fucking now
You know goddamn well that is not what Incineroar is based off of
You fucking apologize to me, to the wonderful team of hardworking people who designed Incineroar, and to Incineroar himself for saying such awful, awful things.

Little known fact, Krabby is actually based on an animal called a "crab". Crabs generally live in the ocean, like Krabby and its Water typing, and have an exoskeleton and pair of claws. Many are also red and/or beige colored. Krabby's Japanese Kurabu makes the connection more clear, as it can possibly be rominized to "krab" or "crab".

The color that they decided to change Jynx into (and Jynx being a female Ice type) makes it pretty likely that the actual main inspiration was the Groke from Moomin, who was originally jet black, but became bright purple in later episodes due to how horrifying her debut scene involving sneaking up on the main characters in the dark was.
