Salamence | Salamence seems to be based on the archetypal fire-breathing {{wp|European dragon}}. It may also be based on a {{wp|salamander}}, most likely the {{wp|Hida salamander}} or {{wp|Anderson's salamander}}; this is backed up by Salamence featuring three prominent finlets on either side of its head, which can be interpreted as {{wp|external gills}}. These external gills are typical for many species of amphibians. Mega Salamence's wing and head shape resembles that of a fighter jet. | ||
