Moltres may be based on legends of {{wp|Firebird#Folklore|firebird}}s such as the {{wp|phoenix}}, the {{wp|Firebird (Slavic folklore)|Slavic firebird}}, or the {{wp|Bennu}}. It may also be based on the Japanese mythical bird known as 朱雀 ''{{wp|Vermilion Bird|Suzaku}}'', guardian of the South, which is not a true phoenix. It may also be based on a {{wp|heron}}, because of their similarities in shape.
