Lapras is a gentle, helpful Pokémon that enjoys ferrying people across bodies of water. In the past, its docility made it an easy target for hunters, and it was driven to near extinction. Recent protection efforts have seen Lapras become overabundant instead, which is now affecting the fish Pokémon numbers in some areas. An intelligent Pokémon, it can understand human speech. Lapras has [[EP113|been known]] to travel in large pods across {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Sea Pokémon|the seas}}, spanning both polar and tropical areas. To keep in touch with others of its kind, it sings enchanting melodies. Lapras usually sing when it is in a good mood. In [[Holiday Hi-Jynx|the anime]] it was shown that Lapras can develop psychic abilities such as telepathy. In [[Alola]], Lapras is used as a [[Poké Ride|Ride Pokémon]] called Lapras Paddle, Alolan natives use Lapras to travel and [[Fishing|fish]] for Pokémon in the water.

As Gigantamax Lapras, it becomes larger in size and more armored. Its shell resembles a cruise ship or ocarina with four gray and red stripes surrounding it, and it has four spikes on top of its shell with one steel spike resembling a funnel, which has three red clouds surrounding it. The sclera in Lapras' eyes change colors to white, yellow, and blue. A light blue ring of fine thin lines resembling a musical sheet created from ice particles circles around its shell.

The most notable role of Lapras in [[Pokémon Adventures]] was being one of the Pokémon of [[Pryce]].

Eventually, Pryce was able to capture {{adv|Celebi}} and enter time, only to lose Celebi as the [[GS Ball]] containing it was shattered, causing him to be unable to override time any further.

The most notable role of Lapras in [[Pokémon Adventures]] was being one of the Pokémon of [[Pryce]]. In his youth, Pryce lost two of his favorite Lapras, La Pris and La Prus, in an avalanche just as the {{pkmn|Egg}} borne by them hatched. Unable to get over his loss, Pryce swore to save his Lapras and thus began researching into [[time travel]], setting the events of the [[Johto]] saga in motion. Eventually, Pryce was able to capture {{adv|Celebi}} and enter time, only to lose Celebi as the [[GS Ball]] containing it was shattered, causing him to be unable to override time any further. However, the baby Lapras, La Glace, was able to enter the time in which Pryce's Lapras were separated, and the family enjoyed a happy reunion while Pryce was eventually lost in time.

===Origin===
===Origin===
Lapras is based on the fabled {{wp|Loch Ness Monster}} in {{wp|Scotland}}.{{fact}} The creature and this Pokémon resemble an extinct order of marine reptiles known as {{wp|Plesiosauria}}, who lived between the {{wp|Triassic}} and {{wp|Cretaceous}} periods. Lapras's shell and horn may be inspired by {{wp|Placodontia|placodonts}} (close relatives of plesiosaurs that lived during the Triassic period). Its intelligence, singing, and rarity can be comparable to some {{wp|cetacea}}ns, especially {{wp|blue whale}}s and {{wp|humpback whale}}s. Its long neck and robust body may also be inspired by the mastheads and hulls of {{wp|Viking}} ships.

In addition, its shell, combined with its aquatic nature and history of being hunted to near extinction may be based on {{wp|Sea turtle|sea turtles}}.
 
As suggested in [[Pocket Monsters Encyclopedia]], Lapras could be the turtle ridden by the folklore hero {{wp|Taro Urashima}}. This is also implied by its category the transport Pokémon along with it often being presented in various pieces of media as a form of transportation across bodies of water.


Gigantamax Lapras may be based on a {{wp|cruise ship}} or possibly a {{wp|music box}} or {{wp|ocarina}}.
