When it comes to the specific references that inspired the critters, take Collette’s description quite literally.

“I created three different types of creepers: the mama, the juniors, and the babies.

Three different age groups of creepers,” Bong explains through his interpreter, Sharon Choi.

“All three groups started from the idea of a croissant.

I gave the creature designer a photo of a croissant.

Mama, she’s this great negotiator politician.

With the juniors, who do quite a bit of rolling around, the team referred to armadillos.

That’s what I thought [of].”
