Yanma is based on a dragonfly, possibly the red-veined darter. Because of its size and weight, it might have been inspired by extinct giant dragonflies in the Meganeura genus.
Yanma and Yanyanma derive from 蜻蜓 yanma (large dragonfly).

Yanma is a large, red dragonfly Pokémon. Compared to its long, thin abdomen, its thorax is short and wide. It has three pairs of two-toed legs and two pairs of wings with red bands on them. A bright green mask marking covers most of its face, and it has two spikes on top of its head. Its blue eyes can see all around its body allowing it to have a high evasiveness. The end of Yanma’s tail has two flat extensions from the sides and two gray spikes in the center.
Yanma is a skillful flier. It can make sudden stops, turn in midair and hover in place by flapping its wings at a high speed. It can also generate shock waves capable of breaking glass by flapping its wings very fast. Yanma is often found in wooded and swampy areas. It hunts insects for food, using its eyesight to spot and its flight abilities to pursue prey. Yanma is also territorial, flitting around to guard its territory.
