Deino is based on a {{wp|dragon}}, specifically an infant form of {{wp|Yamata no Orochi}}. Its blindness and the fact that it is only found inside the {{OBP|Victory Road|Black and White}} cave may mean it suffers from {{wp|Blind animals|subterranean blindness}}. Deino may also be partially based on various {{wp|Eurycea|cave salamander}}s due to their blindness and that they are found near bodies of water in caves. | Deino is based on a {{wp|dragon}}, specifically an infant form of {{wp|Yamata no Orochi}}.
