Lickitung may have been based on any number of lizards with extending tongues, particularly the {{wp|blue-tongued skink}} or maybe even {{wp|chameleon}}s. It also shares traits with {{wp|anteater}}s. Lickitung could also be an ''{{wp|Iguanodon}}'', as it shares its characteristic "thumbs" with it. In addition, Lickitung may be based on 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. | |||
