Sandile seems to be based on a {{wp|crocodile}}; specifically, it has traits from both the {{wp|Mecistops|slender-snouted crocodile}} and the {{wp|nile crocodile}}. Its striped design is similar to a stereotypical burglar, with the marking around its eyes resembling a mask or sunglasses. Based on its [[Pokédex]] entry, it also seems to be inspired by a {{wp|Scincus scincus|sandfish}}, a desert skink that is able to "swim" through the sand.
