Serperior is based on multiple species of {{wp|snake}}s and limbless lizards, such as ''{{wp|Oxybelis fulgidus}}'', ''{{wp|Ahaetulla nasuta}}'', and ''{{wp|Ahaetulla prasina}}'' (species of {{wp|vine snake}}s), as well as the {{wp|Corallus caninus|emerald tree boa}}, {{wp|Python regius|royal python}}, and possibly {{wp|Burton's legless lizard}}. The shape of its head and the extensions on its collar may be based on the {{wp|Strelitzia|bird of paradise}} or {{wp|Heliconia|false bird of paradise}} flowers, a {{wp|cobra}}'s hood, or a snake's shed skin. Serperior may also originate from {{wp|Quetzalcoatl}}, a green, {{wp|Feathered Serpent (deity)|feathered serpent deity}}. Its body markings resemble the {{wp|acanthus (ornament)|acanthus leaf}} motifs popularized during the {{wp|Renaissance}}. | Serperior is based on multiple species of {{wp|snake}}s and limbless lizards, such as ''{{wp|Oxybelis fulgidus}}'', ''{{wp|Ahaetulla nasuta}}'', and ''{{wp|Ahaetulla prasina}}'' (species of {{wp|vine snake}}s), as well as the {{wp|Corallus caninus|emerald tree boa}}, {{wp|Python regius|royal python}}, and possibly {{wp|Burton's legless lizard}}.
