Sandaconda appears to be based on an {{wp|anaconda}}, though it may also be based on various desert-dwelling {{wp|snake}}s, such as the {{wp|Crotalus cerastes|sidewinder}}, a snake that uses coiling and rippling motions to travel across sandy dunes. As its Pokédex entries state that it blasts sand out of its nose, it also may be based on a double-barreled gun. Sandaconda may also be based on the {{wp|ball python}}, a snake that gets its name from its tendency to curl into a ball to hide its head. | Sandaconda appears to be based on an {{wp|anaconda}}, though it may also be based on various desert-dwelling {{wp|snake}}s, such as the {{wp|Crotalus cerastes|sidewinder}}, a snake that uses coiling and rippling motions to travel across sandy dunes.

With its ability to shoot sand from its nostrils as a defense mechanism, Sandaconda likely takes inspiration from {{wp|spitting cobra}}s, which spit venom out of their fangs in much the same way, though it loses all of the visual similarities to cobras that {{p|Silicobra}} had. | |||
