Typhlosion has traits of {{wp|honey badger}}s and {{wp|weasel}}s. Its thick body, long neck, small limbs, and short tail are similar to those of badgers of the {{wp|Meles (genus)}} family while its bipedal stance and color pattern are more similar to those of the {{wp|stoat}}. It is also based on volcanoes, which is reflected in its Pokédex entry, triangular sprite, and the ability to learn [[Smokescreen]] and [[Eruption (move)|Eruption]]. | Typhlosion has traits of {{wp|honey badger}}s and {{wp|weasel}}s.

Hisuian Typhlosion appears to be based on {{wp|psychopomp}} figures, common in many mythologies. It may also be based on {{wp|Kamuy-huci}}, the {{wp|Ainu people|Ainu}} goddess of fire and the hearth, whose fire is said to act as a gateway between the human world and the spirit world. The ghost flames on its neck are reminiscent of a necklace of {{wp|magatama}} beads, which are associated with various spiritual beliefs, including the ancient Japanese practice of burying them in graves along with the deceased as offerings for the gods. Like {{p|Spiritomb}}, the specific amount of its ghost flames (108) may be based on the purified {{wp|108 Stars of Destiny}} of the {{wp|Classic Chinese Novels| | Hisuian Typhlosion appears to be based on {{wp|psychopomp}} figures, common in many mythologies.
