I'm cool with Perfect Zygarde being a giant mechaniloid. 50% form fits with the Norse mythology of the world tree. 10% ZyDog... what? Zygarde Cell and Core... yeah, it's already been said.
The dog form is supposed to represent Fenrir, also from Norse Mythology.

And the 50% form is actually supposed to be Jormungand, the World Serpent.
(Xerneas is the one that is based on Yggdrasill, the World Tree.  That's why it has a tree form.)

I thought the trio was all based on different areas of Yggdrasil (Yveltal = the eagle at the top, Xerneas = the stags around the trunk, Zygarde = Jormungand, the serpent around the roots).

I can see 10% ZyDog being based on Fenrir, but I just find it a bit silly that it looks mostly like a regular doberman, but green. I'm assuming Perfect Zygarde is based on Hel, being half alive (X) and half dead (Y). ... I got nothing for the blobs.
