Toriyama also made Beerus more comedic, Watanabe told DVD & Blu-ray Vision Magazine (via Kanzenshuu). Beerus' attire, as Toriyama related to V-Jump (via Kanzenshuu), was inspired by clothing from Ancient Egypt, whose deities of myth often resembled cats. Rather than stick with the lizard inspiration, Toriyama instead redesigned Beerus to resemble his Cornish Rex cat, explaining in 'Dragon Ball Chōzenshū 1' (via Kanzenshuu) that his veterinarian likened Toriyama's cat to 'some kind of demon' after it recovered from a major ailment.
