Accelgor appears to be based on an auto racer or a ninja, combined with a giant tube worm. Its cloth-like “clothing” and Bug type suggest it may also be based on the bagworm pupa.
Accelgor may be a combination of accelerate and escargot (French for snail).
Agilder may be a combination of agile and rider.

Accelgor has a large pink head reminiscent of a helmet that is curled in the back. Green stripes run from its eyes to the top of its head, and there is a black star-like marking or hole on the front. Its eyes are hidden in a shadowed crevice in its head. The rest of its body is covered by a dull blue, cloth-like membrane, which keeps Accelgor from dehydrating, with ribbon-like extensions at the top of its back. Its arms, when crossed, portray an aggressive mood. It is a very fast Pokémon; it can attack using ways similar to ninjas. It lives in moist habitats like bogs and swamps.
