 Appearance-wise, this [[Pokémon]] resembles the {{wp|dinosaur}} known as {{wp|dilophosaurus}}. It is also based on an iguana.
 ====Name origin====
-Sceptile's name is a play on ''{{wp|reptile}}'' and ''{{wp|sceptre}}'', perhaps referring to the golden seeds on its back, or possibly ''{{wp|sectile}}'', referring to the long, sharp blades growing on its body. It's name may yet even be a reference to the fern genus ''{{wp|Sceptridium}}'', as its tail does appear to be similar to a fern. Its Japanese name may be based on 樹海 ''jukai'', abundant leafage.
