Rapidash's horn shows it may have been inspired by {{wp|unicorn}}s, but it more closely resembles a regular {{wp|horse}}. It would also seem that Rapidash and its {{p|Ponyta|pre-evolution}} are based on fiery steeds in mythology, such as those of the Greek god {{wp|Helios}}, {{wp|Skinfaxi and Hrímfaxi|Skinfaxi}} of Norse mythology, and the horses of the {{wp|Ashvins}} in Hindu myth.
