| Similar to its pre-evolved form, Lickilicky may be based on lizards like {{wp|iguana}}s and {{wp|chameleon}}s due to its long tongue and somewhat reptilian appearance. On the other hand, Lickilicky's bulbous body makes it resemble a round baby. Moreover, considering the white bib-like pattern on its torso as well as its voracious appetite, Lickilicky may be based on an exaggerated concept of a bloated gourmand, perhaps dressed in {{wp|Macaroni (fashion)|macaroni}}-style or {{wp|dandy}}-style fashion. As with Lickitung, Lickilicky may also be based on the ''{{wp|Akaname}}'', a mythical {{wp|yōkai}} with a single claw on each foot and a gigantic tongue.
