Regigigas (Pokémon): Difference between revisions

Regigigas seems to be based on the {{wp|golem}}s of Hebrew legend. The legends cast them as servants of higher powers and are said to have writing on their heads. When the writing is removed, the creature would be weakened, or even killed in some legends. It may also be based on the {{wp|Titan (mythology)|Titans}} of {{wp|Greek mythology}}. It could also draw some inspiration from the {{wp|Daidarabotchi}}, a gigantic ''{{wp|yōkai}}'', due to its ability to easily manipulate mountains, while also notably sharing similarities to Ōmitsunu, a demigod who pulled land via ropes to expand his kingdom. Its form also resembles that of a ''{{wp|headless men|Blemmyes}}''. Regigigas 's face that consists of seven dots may be based on {{wp|Braille alphabet}} which was necessary to use to encounter [[Legendary golems]] for the first time in [[Sealed Chamber]].
