Taunts

Primary

The Pyro's raising of their weapon and triumphant cackle during their primary taunt appears to be a reference to the Tusken raiders (often called "Sand People") of Star Wars, with whom the Pyro shares a few physical similarities.

Secondary

The Pyro's Hadouken taunt is a direct reference to Ryu's signature attack from the Street Fighter game series. The Hadouken (or "surge fist") itself is a Japanese neologism, and literally means "wave motion fist". The practitioner thrusts their palms forward, sending a surge of spirit energy flying towards the opponent.

The Pyro's variation on the attack is technically a Shakunetsu Hadouken ("Scorching Surge Fist"), a Hadouken which is imbued with the power of fire.

Melee

The Pyro plays air guitar briefly. This is a reference to the common nickname for an electric guitar — an "axe".

Media

Bio

"Either way, he's a fearsome, inscrutable on-fire Frankenstein of a man. If he even is a man."

The Pyro is likened to Frankenstein's Monster, the famous creature from Mary Shelley's novel Frankenstein. Their similarities include an enigmatic nature and a truly monstrous sense of purpose - though ironically, Frankenstein's monster is afraid of fire. The statement also refers to the speculations by the TF2 community towards the Pyro's gender, and even their humanity.
