The Aparoids appear to have been inspired by insectoid and artificial extraterrestrial species from a number of science fiction franchises. The most obvious of which seem to be the Bugs from ''[[Wikipedia:Starship Troopers|Starship Troopers]]''. The 'soldier class' of the Aparoid species,  who make up the backbone of the Aparoid invasion during ''[[Star Fox: Assault]]'', are in themselves quite similar to the basic Starship Troopers soldier bugs. Like them, Aparoid soldiers are present on the battlefield in great numbers and their tactics comprise of basically just swarming the player. The Aparoid species are directed telepathically by the Queen in much the same way the Bugs are directed by the Brain Bug as seen in the first Starship Troopers [[wikipedia:Starship_Troopers_(film)|movie.]]

Higher orders of the Aparoid species exhibit behavior that is closely reminiscent of the [[Wikipedia: Borg|Borg]] from ''[[Wikipedia: Star Trek|Star Trek]]''. They are able to infest biological and non-biological entities (such as computers), as in the missions that take place on [[Corneria]], where a number of Cornerian military personnel actively fight against the player, apparently having been telepathically or otherwise controlled by the Aparoids. [[General Pepper]] and his fighter is similarly turned against the player. Pigma Dengar is himself assimilated into a huge, cube-like space station which resembles a Borg Cube. On [[Fichina]], the Aparoids take control of an atmospheric control center and reprogram the defense drones there to fight [[Fox]] and his allies. The Aparoids are also said to have been inspired by a raid of some bees, wasps and/or flies during development.
