Skarmory has much in common with the Andean Condor. It also shares characteristics of {{wp|crane}}s, birds which are held in high esteem in Japan; such characteristics include a long neck and long legs, and a daggerlike beak. It is also similar to the {{wp|Stymphalian Birds}} in the Greek story ''The Twelve Labors of {{wp|Hercules}}''. Skarmory is also believed to be based off of an armored {{wp|knight}}. | Skarmory has much in common with the Andean Condor.
