Inteleon appears to be based on {{wp|chameleon}}s, specifically the {{wp|veiled chameleon}} due to the similar crest and color scheme to that of the males | Inteleon appears to be mainly based on {{wp|Basiliscus (genus)|basilisk lizards}} due to the similar crests, body type and bipedal standing, which said lizards adopt to run across the surface of the water. It seems to also take inspiration from {{wp|chameleon}}s, specifically the {{wp|veiled chameleon}}, due to the similar crest and color scheme to that of the males. Inteleon's appearance seems to also be heavily influenced by lizards of the ''{{wp|Draco (genus)|Draco}}'' genus (also known as flying lizards), with its less curly tail, and its crest and back membrane resembling the dewlap and patagial membranes found in the genus. Much like Inteleon, flying lizards use their membranes to glide. | ||
Furthermore, Inteleon seems to exhibit the motif of spies and secret agents, especially British intelligence. The coloring on its body resembles a tuxedo and trousers, and it uses many tools that spies are often depicted using, such as guns, knives and hang gliders. This connection with spies may derive from the chameleon's purported ability to camouflage. | Furthermore, Inteleon seems to exhibit the motif of spies and secret agents, especially British intelligence.
