Helioptile is probably based on {{wp|Chlamydosaurus|frilled-neck lizard}}s, although its frills also resemble those found on the {{wp|Phrynocephalus mystaceus|secret toadhead agama}}. It may also be based on the {{wp|spotted salamander}}, a salamander that can {{wp|photosynthesize}}. Its ability to learn {{m|Surf}} may be a reference to the {{wp|common basilisk}}, a reptile capable of running on water for short distances. Additionally, it shares few resemblances to the {{wp|leopard gecko}}. | Helioptile is probably based on {{wp|Chlamydosaurus|frilled-neck lizard}}s, although its frills also resemble those found on the {{wp|Phrynocephalus mystaceus|secret toadhead agama}}.
