-Skarmory has much in common with the {{wp|Andean Condor}} and {{wp|Crane (bird)|crane}}s, birds which are held in high esteem in Japan. It is also similar to many mythological, metallic birds such as the {{wp|Stymphalian bird}}s, the {{wp|Gagana}}, and the {{wp|Alicanto}}. In addition, its design resembles a {{wp|wyvern}}.
