Zekrom and its counterpart {{p|Reshiram}} are based on the concept of {{wp|yin and yang}} in {{wp|Taoism}}. Appearance wise, it somewhat resembles a midsized to large theropod dinosaur, such as {{wp|Allosaurus}}, and a European {{wp|dragon}}. The crest on its head is a reference to thunderclouds and its tail resembles an electric generator.
