Dunsparce is based on the mythical {{wp|tsuchinoko}}. Tsuchinoko are 30 cm to 80 cm long, with a large head and poisonous fangs. Its body is thicker than its head and tail. The noises it makes resemble squeaks and chirps and snores. Unlike real snakes, which slither from side to side, a tsuchinoko wiggles ahead in a straight line. The tsuchinoko curls its body to leap through the air. | Dunsparce is based on the mythical {{wp|tsuchinoko}}. Tsuchinoko are 30 cm to 80 cm long, with a large head and poisonous fangs.
