===Origin===
===Origin===
Snivy may be based on a variety of vine snake species (''{{wp|Oxybelis fulgidus}}''), (''{{wp|Ahaetulla nasuta}}''), or (''{{wp|Ahaetulla prasina}}''), snakes with green scales and a pointed nose that lives in the Americas and Southeast Asia. It also shares some similarities with a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_green_mamba|Green Mamba], an African snake that is green and very agile like Snivy (It's special stat is speed); although it has a shorter nose and venom. Its color scheme resembles ''{{wp|Opheodrys aestivus}}'' (Rough Green Snake), the North American grass snake that is likely the namesake of Snivy's species designation. The Pokémon's combination of snake- and lizard-like features is also similar to that of the {{wp|skink}}, more specifically the {{wp|Neoseps}}. Neoseps heavily resemble snakes but have small, stubby legs. Its head and general body shape, as well as its protrusions on its shoulders, may be based on the {{wp|birds of paradise flowers}} or {{wp|Heliconia|false birds of paradise}}. [[Ken Sugimori]] has said that Snivy's personality was meant to be similar to that of European (particularly French) royalty, specifically mentioning ''{{wp|The Rose of Versailles}}'' anime as inspiration.
