Snivy (Pokémon): Difference between revisions

Snivy may be based on the Green Vine Snake (''{{wp|Oxybelis fulgidus}}''), a slender snake with a pointed head that inhabits Central America and South America. Its color scheme resembles ''{{wp|Opheodrys aestivus}}'' (Rough Green Snake), the North American grass snake that is likely the namesake of Snivy's species designation. The Pokémon's combination of snake- and lizard-like features is also similar to that of the {{wp|skink}}, more specifically the {{wp|Neoseps}}. Neoseps heavily resemble snakes but have small, stubby legs. Its head and general body shape, as well as its protrusions on its shoulders, may be based on the {{wp|birds of paradise flowers}} or {{wp|Heliconia|false birds of paradise}}.
