Lickitung may be based on {{wp|Plethodontidae|lungless salamander}}s, some of which have projectile tongues and may secrete a sticky, irritating substance. It could also be based on lizards with long extending or projectile tongues like {{wp|chameleon}}s. Additionally, it may draw inspiration from the ''{{wp|Akaname}}'', a mythical ''{{wp|yōkai}}'' with a single claw on each foot and a gigantic tongue. Akaname are known to lick filth out of bathhouses, similar to Lickitung's habit of licking dirty things clean. | Lickitung may be based on {{wp|Plethodontidae|lungless salamander}}s, some of which have projectile tongues and may secrete a sticky, irritating substance.
