What pepper is the hot pepper based off of?

I figured cayenne, or the sort of standard Thai ones their restaurants throw into stir fries (these: https://canadapickles.ca/shop/charc...0Rvo4MrrAMDAeK5O1gfpgS8pkbgCSaq5f8rEGMhkBjC5x).

Things like ghost pepper and such weren't really on the general radar in the same way 10 years ago. I mean, I knew they existed, but not the same way I knew about chili peppers in my thai red curry (ie, biting into them on occasion) or cayenne (dried in a jar in my spice drawer)

Ghost peppers are shaped quite differently from the sprite though, so it's probably something different. I'm sure there must be something on the spicier side that's also long and skinny like that...
To be fair, only the sprite looks like that pepper. It never really tells us or lets us pick which pepper we are planting, and also it's kinda unusual to make pepper poppers out of cayennes
