===Origin===
Steelix, like Onix, is most likely based on a combination of a {{wp|snake}} and {{wp|earthworm}}. It may also be based on the {{wp|European dragon|wyrm}}, a type of {{wp|dragon}} that has been presented as limbless and burrowing. Mega Steelix's crystalline body may be a reference to coal turning into diamonds from compression.
