Apart from being a pig, the inspiration for Grumpig may be the Biblical phrase “…neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you” from Matthew 7:6. The pearls were supposed to represent wisdom given to an audience who would not appreciate the teachings. Grumpig and Spoink appear to instead use those pearls of wisdom to enhance their psychic powers.
Grumpig may be a combination of grump and pig. Grump may also be a corruption of grunt, a sound that pigs make.
Boopig may be a combination of ブーブー būbū (the sound of grumbling or oinking) or 豚 buta (pig) and pig.
