Snivy seems to be based on different species of {{wp|snake|serpents}} and {{wp|legless lizard}}s, its {{t|Grass}} typing may be a reference to {{wp|vine snake}}s, or even {{wp|tree snake}}s and {{wp|grass snake}}s. The Pokémon's combination of snake- and lizard-like features is also similar to {{wp|Skinks}}. The shape of its head, body, and the protrusions on its shoulders may be based on the {{wp|Strelitzia|bird of paradise}} or {{wp|Heliconia|false bird of paradise}} flowers.

[[Ken Sugimori]] has said that Snivy, Servine, and Serperior are based on French royalty, specifically mentioning the anime ''{{wp|The Rose of Versailles}}'' as inspiration.<ref>http://web.archive.org/web/20101228065540/http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ds/interview/irbj/sp/index5.html (archived link)</ref>
