- Fryno bears a resemblance to Rhino from Marvel.
- Additionally, in the "Ultimate Spider-Man" episode "Return of the Sinister 6", Rhino had armor with a track used by vehicles on his back, allowing him to perform an attack similar to Fryno's "The Horn and The Hog" attack.
- Fryno, along with Gorm and Tuk are three of the few characters in Skylanders who are pachyderms.
- Fryno is the only pachyderm to be a Skylander.
- One of the names of Fryno's upgrade paths is called Brawler, which is also the name of one of Terrafin's upgrade paths.
- This would later become the name of a Sensei Battle Class in Skylanders: Imaginators.
- According to his Short Cut, due to his short temper, Fryno goes to anger management lessons.
- Fryno is one of the few Skylanders who uses a vehicle for an attack (others who do this include Sprocket and Hot Head).
- Coincidentally, both he and Hot Head are of the Fire element.
- His Soul Gem power, "Madness Maxed", is a reference to the film series Mad Max.
- He is one of the Skylanders who have Mini versions new to Trap Team (the others are Eruptor, Drobot, Hex, Spyro, Whirlwind, Jet-Vac, and Bash).
- He is the first and only Skylander who first appeared in Swap Force to ever have a mini counterpart.
- He, Eruptor and Fire Kraken share the same quote, that being "Too hot to handle!"
- Fryno is voiced by Robert Cait, who also voices the Colossus from the X-Men animated series, Mr. Wilter from Chalk Zone and the second voice of Norm the Genie from The Fairly Odd Parents.

- This possibly is because Swap Force was developed by another company.

- Fryno's (and Small Fry's) The Horn and The Hog attack makes him one of the fastest Skylanders in the series, even surpassing Drobot's Thruster Flight.
- A skin texture map of Fryno was leaked in the 1.0 version of Skylanders: Ring of Heroes, but he never appeared in the final game.
- In Skylanders: Swap Force, Fryno's blazing bike can launch him straight over gaps that would otherwise have to be jumped.
