Charmander's design was based on {{p|Charizard}} in such a way that it was surprising to see it evolving into the latter Pokémon.<ref name=Origin>[https://www.pokemon.co.jp/corporate/en/pikachu/ ''The Origin Story of Pikachu''].</ref> In particular, Charmander was designed as a lizard,<ref name=Origin/> possibly referencing the mythical {{wp|Salamanders in folklore and legend|salamander}} (as opposed to the real-world amphibian of the same name which inspired its mythical counterpart). This salamander was a fire-spirit capable of surviving in extreme heat or flames, and it is sometimes creatively rendered or interpreted in the shape of a lizard. | Charmander's design was based on {{p|Charizard}} in such a way that it was surprising to see it evolving into the latter Pokémon.<ref name=Origin>[https://www.pokemon.co.jp/corporate/en/pikachu/ ''The Origin Story of Pikachu''].</ref> In particular, Charmander was designed as a lizard,<ref name=Origin/> possibly referencing the mythical {{wp|Salamanders in folklore and legend|salamander}} (as opposed to the real-world amphibian of the same name which inspired its mythical counterpart).
