Not only that, Decade is about passing through time. Megalodons are in the past, they are ancient. Go figure. Also for Fourze, it is based on space. This might be a reach, but the movie Planet of the Apes is set in space as well. Not only that, I’m pretty sure that a gorilla or some other kinds of primate has made it to space before? Or at least been on a spaceship/rocket? Possibly just a coincidence though.

Yeah. In fact, the Transformation Jingles for the Legend Rider Vistamps reference a catchphrase of the Rider they are based upon. The Megalodon Vistamp says "The Passerby Hu-Hu-Hu-Hunter!", which references his self-proclaimed status as The Passing-Through Kamen Rider, the Decadriver's Stuttering for the Final X Ride Announcements, and that Sharks always are passing through the seas. The Eagle Vistamp says "I'm counting up your feathers!", which references Double's Catchphrase, "Now, count up your sins/crimes", and the Eagle represents Double being a detective, which being "eagle-eyed" means you see something that other don't. Also, the Eagle Motif references the Xtreme Gaia Memory's Bird Motif, which itself is a visual pun due to it using the Katakana for Tori, the Japanese Word for Bird. The Batta Vistamp says "It's a Legend! The First Grasshopper! Top Grasshopper! Hopper approaching! Transform!", referencing that Kamen Rider 1 was the first Kamen Rider and that this Rider's Main Motif is that of a Grasshopper. The Mammoth Vistamp says "This has been a climax from the start!", referencing Climax Form. And looking at it from the front, a Mammoth looks a lot like Den-O Sword Form's Face. The Eyes of the Rider look like the ears of the Mammoth.

Meanwhile, there are more connections about the animals and the Riders they are combined with.
First of all, here is a Gorilla.

Here is Fourze.

Just by exaggerating the proportions, you can get Fourze to resemble the Gorilla.
So, mainly, the connections are aesthetical and not really solid connections. However, there are still some connections, but I will mainly discuss the physical traits. The Kamakiri Vistamp is based upon both Kamen Rider Gaim and a Mantis. Which both would mesh pretty well together. Meanwhile, I say that the Owl would be given to Wizard not only due to its connections to intelligent wizards, but also based upon the fact that an Owl with closed wings would resemble Wizard's Head.
