===Origin===
===Origin===
Luxray resembles an adult {{wp|lynx}} or male lion. Much like Luxray, {{wp|Lynx (mythology)|lynxes in mythology}} were believed to have supernatural eyesight, capable of seeing through solid objects. Luxray's vision is also similar to a modern {{wp|Radiography|radiograph}} or "X-ray machine", explaining the basis for its name and {{t|Electric}} typing.

Luxray's vision is also similar to a modern {{wp|Radiography|radiograph}} or "X-ray machine", explaining the basis for its name and {{t|Electric}} typing. Luxray's appearance may have also been inspired by the mythical {{wp|sphinx}}, as its short face, human-like ears, and cat-like appearance are similar. Its long-shoulder fur may be based loosely on the wings of Greek sphinxes. In addition, it may have been inspired by the constellations {{wp|Lynx (constellation)|Lynx}} or {{wp|Leo (constellation)|Leo}}, due to Luxray's cat-like appearance and the fact that it and its pre-evolved forms bear a signature star shape on the end of their tails. Additionally, the Lynx constellation got its name from the fact that only the lynx-eyed, that is people with very good sight, could see it, alluding to {{wp|Lynx (mythology)|supernatural sight of lynxes}}. Furthermore, its Japanese name suggests at least some minor influence from {{wp|tiger}}s.
