Salamence is based on the archetypal fire-breathing {{wp|European dragon}}. It may also be based on a {{wp|Salamander (disambiguation)|salamander}}, most likely the {{wp|Hida salamander}} or {{wp|Anderson's Salamander}}; this is backed up by Salamence featuring three prominent finlets on either side of its head, which can be interpreted as {{wp|external gills}}. These {{wp|external gills}} are typical for many species of amphibians.
