Its appearance mainly resembles that of a Lynx, but pulls inspiration from an adult male {{wp|lion}}. It may have also been inspired by the mythical {{wp|sphinx}}, as its short face, human-like ears, and lion-like appearance are similar. In addition, it may have been inspired by the constellation {{wp|Leo (constellation)|Leo}}, due to Luxray's lion-like appearance and the fact that it and its pre-evolved forms bear a signature star shape on the end of their tail. Furthermore, its Japanese name suggests at least some minor influence from {{wp|tiger}}s.
