Dialga is a dark blue {{wp|sauropod}}-like Pokémon with some gray metallic portions, such as its chestplate, which has a diamond in the center. It also has various light blue stripes. It has a fin-like structure on its back and a crest on its head, resembling a dinosaur. Dialga also has two horns on top of its head, two fang-like horns around its mouth, and three spines on the back of its neck. It has three claws on each foot of the same metallic looks as its chestplate. The wing-like structure on its back can be used to focus the flow of time, as seen in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Explorers of Time, Darkness]], and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Sky]].
Dialga is a dark-blue, {{wp|sauropod}}-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with some gray metallic portions and light blue stripes. It has a chest plate on its torso, which has a deep blue diamond-like crystal embedded in the center. Dialga has a fin-like structure on its back, three spines on the back of its neck, and a crest on its head, resembling a dinosaur. The crest somewhat resembles the shape of a sundial's rod. It also has two structures on the sides of its head that extend outward and resemble horns and fangs. It has three claws on each foot, of the same metallic look as its chest plate. Faint cracks exist across its body. The fin-like structure on its back is shaped radiating outwards and can be used to focus the flow of time, as seen in the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series|Mystery Dungeon series]]. Rather than walking on all fours, Dialga usually travels by levitation.


Dialga can warp time by either speeding it up, slowing it down, or stopping it altogether. As Dialga primarily resides in a [[Dimensions|different dimension]], its behavior is nearly impossible to study. It has been shown to be very protective of its home. It also tends to have violent conflicts with its counterpart, {{p|Palkia}}. Dialga is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that can learn {{m|Roar of Time}}.
Dialga has the power to control time; it can warp time by either speeding it up, slowing it down, reversing it, or stopping it altogether; it can also [[Time travel|travel through time]] to visit the past, present, and future. It also has the power to destroy and create time itself. As shown in the {{pkmn|anime}}, Dialga's temporal powers possess the ability to [[Devolution|devolve]] anything or anyone against their will: Pokémon, humans, and plants. It can even reverse these devolution effects. It is said that time started moving when Dialga was born and will continue flowing as long as Dialga's heart beats.


==In the anime==
Dialga has the power to create a new universe by itself or with {{p|Palkia}}. As Dialga primarily resides in a different [[dimension]], its behavior is nearly impossible to study. In the dimension where Origin Forme Dialga lives in, time is said to be constantly moving in different directions and speeds.<ref>[https://legends.arceus.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/dialga/ Dialga (Origin Forme) | Pokémon Legends: Arceus Official Website]</ref> It has been shown to be very protective of its home. It also tends to have violent conflicts with its counterpart Palkia.
[[File:Dialga anime movie 12.png|thumb|250px|Dialga in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
===In the main series===
====Major appearances====
=====[[Dialga (movie)]]=====
Dialga appeared in the first three {{series|Diamond & Pearl}} [[Pokémon movie]]s. It was first shown in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'', where it fought with {{mov|Palkia}} and {{mov|Darkrai|Darkrai|10}} in a battle that nearly destroyed [[Alamos Town]]. The same Dialga appeared in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''. On its return trip back to its own dimension, Dialga ended up in the [[Reverse World]] and got attacked by {{mov|Giratina}}. The Renegade Pokémon had been angered by Dialga and Palkia's fight in the previous movie. Dialga's final movie appearance was in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''. It was shown for the first time with both the other members of its [[creation trio|trio]]. After being called by [[Sheena]] to stop a spatial distortion, it briefly fought with Giratina once more. Later, it returned to help Palkia and Giratina fight {{mov|Arceus|Arceus|12}}, and sent Sheena, {{Ash}} and {{Ashfr}} back in time to fix Arceus's betrayal.


[[File:Primal Dialga anime.png|thumb|left|220px|Primal Dialga in the anime]]
Dialga was revered as a deity in [[Sinnoh myths]]; in the past, it was worshipped by the [[Diamond Clan]], who referred to it as "almighty Sinnoh". Dialga is capable of [[Talking Pokémon|speaking through telepathy]], as seen when it communicates through the leader of the Diamond Clan, [[Adaman]]. Dialga and Palkia can control and spread the [[space-time distortion]]s caused by {{p|Giratina}}, which create [[alpha Pokémon]] and cause [[Noble Pokémon]] to go berserk through a lightning bolt that comes out of the space-time distortions.
=====[[Primal Dialga]]=====
Primal Dialga made two brief appearances in ''[[SS021|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky - Beyond Time & Darkness]]'' as the protector of the [[Time Gear]]s.


=====Other=====
Dialga is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Roar of Time}}, which is powerful enough to distort time itself when the move generates enough power.
Dialga had a major appearance in ''[[DP152|The Battle Finale of Legend!]]'', in the conclusion of [[Team Galactic]]'s plot at [[Mt. Coronet]]. It is unknown if this is the same Dialga as that in the movies.


Dialga appeared in the second {{series|XY}} {{pkmn|movie}}, ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]'', as one of the many [[Legendary Pokémon]] summoned by {{an|Hoopa}}.
===Forms===
Dialga can change between its standard form and its Origin Forme.


====Minor appearances====
Said to be the Pokémon's true form, Dialga's Origin Forme is drastically different from the usual sauropod-like look of its other forme, being a hybrid between it, a dragon, and a [[wikipedia:Centaur|centaur]], while also resembling its creator, {{p|Arceus}}. The back legs of Dialga become unguligrade in shape and have pointed tips instead of feet. The front legs are noticeably larger, with three distinct rhomboid claws on the underside. Further up, Dialga's knees have rectangular, long, and thin protrusions. Its chest plate is gone; however, it has a similar polygonal shape in its place. On Dialga's neck is a large shape jutting out towards the front, along with two pairs of protrusions on either side, the upper pair being larger and resembling panels or wings. Inside this large shape and wing-like protrusions are deep blue diamond-like crystals, embedded into diamond-shaped grooves. The three spines located on the back of the neck are longer and sharper. Dialga's head has two thin arrow-shaped horns extending towards the top and back of its head, along with longer fang-like horns connected to a plate mask covering its lower jaw, which can shift in angle to reveal the mouth. The plate mask also partly covers the arrow-shaped horns on their sides. Around Dialga's abdomen is a cross made of four arrow shapes attached to a small wheel, reminiscent of Arceus's cross-wheel. The fin-like plate on Dialga's posterior has a star-shaped layer on top of it. The tail is much shorter and crystal-shaped. Overall, Dialga's entire body becomes larger and nearly completely dark blue. The crest, arrow-shaped horns, knee protrusions, and abdomen cross are light blue, while the tips of Dialga's fin-like plate and feet are dark gray.  
Dialga made its debut in ''[[DP036|A Secret Sphere of Influence!]]'' in a fantasy.


Dialga made a brief appearance in {{MTR}}'s fantasy in ''[[DP178|For The Love of Meowth!]]''.
Dialga is at its full power when in the Origin Forme and is supposedly, permanently in it while in its home dimension. Dialga's transformation into its Origin Forme is triggered by a radiant light; it can also be invoked using the [[Adamant Crystal]]. Origin Forme Dialga can unleash meteors and shockwaves, while its {{m|Roar of Time}} technique can be charged into a stronger version of itself as seen in its boss battle in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}. The crystals and light blue accents on Dialga's body glow brightly when it uses its powers.

;Primal Dialga
A unique {{pkmn2|variant}} of Dialga, called [[Primal Dialga]] resembles a normal Dialga with a darkened color. The main body is colored dark blue. The center diamond-like crystal is colored dark orange. The lines in its body are also orange.


===In Pokémon Generations===
Primal Dialga cannot control time due to it being tampered with. It acts much more agressive than Dialga normally it. It can still use its time abilites to some extent. It can also prevent others from time traveling, even cancelling out {{p|Celebi}}'s time powers.
[[File:Dialga PG.png|thumb|200px|Dialga in [[Pokémon Generations]]]]
Dialga appeared in ''[[PG11|The New World]]'' along with {{p|Palkia}}. Both of them were captured at [[Spear Pillar]] by [[Cyrus]], who intended to use them to destroy the world and create a new one. Along with Palkia, it was freed by {{p|Giratina}} before they could help Cyrus succeed in his goal.

In the [[Arceus and the Jewel of Life (manga)|twelfth movie manga adaption]], Dialga, along with the members of its trio, was summoned by [[Sheena]] to help Ash and his friends. Dialga, {{p|Palkia}}, {{p|Giratina}} battle Arceus and it soon puts Sheena and the others in the past to uncover the betrayal Sheena's ancestor made.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
Dialga, along with Palkia, was summoned by [[Cyrus]] in the {{chap|Diamond & Pearl}} in order to create a new world. Cyrus used the Red Chains to force Dialga and Palkia to fight each other in order to distort time and space and create a portal that would swallow the existing world. {{adv|Diamond}}, {{adv|Pearl}} and {{adv|Platinum}} worked together with their Pokémon to free Dialga and Palkia from their controlled states.
 
Later on, an accident with handling [[Charon]]'s machine caused Dialga, Palkia and Cyrus to be dragged into the portal before it closed completely. In the {{chap|Platinum}}, it was revealed that {{p|Giratina}} imprisoned both Dialga and Palkia in the [[Distortion World]] before setting off into the current dimension to wreak havoc. Soon, Cyrus and Diamond met in the Distortion World, and agreed to free Dialga and Palkia using their Pokémon. Dialga and Palkia later resumed their struggle against Giratina in the Distortion World. When Charon decided to escape from the Distortion World on Giratina, Diamond got on Dialga and chased after him. Giratina was eventually defeated, with Dialga and Palkia forcing it back into the Distortion World for good, before both returned to the Spear Pillar.
 
In the {{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}, Dialga was created in the [[Sinjoh Ruins]], along with Palkia and Giratina, by {{p|Arceus}}' creation process, which was forced by [[Team Rocket]]'s [[Executive (Trainer class)|Four Generals]]. Knowing that the creation process would threaten the [[Johto]] region, Team Rocket's true leader {{adv|Giovanni}} returned with [[Lance]] and [[Pryce]] to keep the creation trio at bay while {{adv|Gold}} tried to calm Arceus down. Dialga was kept at bay by Pryce and his {{p|Swinub}}. Once Arceus was eventually becalmed, Dialga and Palkia departed from Johto and were spotted by [[Cynthia]].
 
===In the Pokémon Battrio: Aim to be Battrio Master! manga===
A Dialga appeared in [[ABM02]] under the ownership of [[Manabu Kazuo]].
 
===In the Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure! manga===
In [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!]], [[Hareta]] and [[Mitsumi]] set out on a journey with the intention of finding the god-like Pokémon, Dialga. In ''[[DPA20|The Advent of the Legendary Pokémon!!]]'' [[Cyrus]] successfully controlled Dialga after he gained control of the Red Chain. When Hareta tried to snap Dialga out of Cyrus's control, it was able to flee from Cyrus.
 
===In the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Blazing Exploration Team manga===
{{main|Primal Dialga}}
A Dialga with a darker color appeared in [[BET3]].
 
===In the Pocket Monsters Platinum: Aim to Be Battle King!! manga===
Dialga, along with the members of its trio, appeared in [[PBK5]] where it fought against {{OBP|Shin|PBK}}'s {{p|Abomasnow}} and {{p|Mamoswine}} and defeated the former. It fought against [[Yū Shirogane]] and lost.
 
===In the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga===
Dialga appeared in [[PMDP29]] of {{OBP|Pocket Monsters DP|Kosaku Anakubo}}.
 
==In the TCG==
{{main|Dialga (TCG)}}
 
==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
[[Image:SSBBSpearPillarDialga.png|thumb|Dialga on the {{St|Spear Pillar}}]]
Dialga appears as a stage Pokémon along with {{p|Palkia}}, {{p|Cresselia}}, and the [[lake guardians]] on the stage {{St|Spear Pillar}}. It affects the stage much differently than that of its counterpart, such as slowing down time, and even going off its post to attack the players in the middle. It can also distort the stage, like Palkia, but only slightly and not as extreme, as well as shoot beams from various locations.
 
====Trophy information====
''A Temporal Pokémon. This legendary Pokémon is talked about as a deity in fables passed down through generations in the Sinnoh region. Identifiable by the diamondlike crystal in the center of its chest, Dialga is said to have set time in motion at the moment of its birth. Its fearsome {{m|Roar of Time}} attack is so powerful that it must refrain from attacking on the next turn. It is Diamond's mascot.''
 
===[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U|Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]===
Dialga appears as a trophy.
 
====Trophy information====
''The concept of time has always been one of the world's great mysteries, but Dialga might hold the answer. Legend has it that Dialga's birth caused time to begin moving! It's no surprise that the people of Sinnoh see this Pokémon as a deity. If you're ever running late, maybe you could ask Dialga to do you a favour and turn back the clock.''

===Form data===
Along with the other members of the [[Pokémon of Myth]], Dialga has the ability to switch to a second form: Origin Forme.
 
The standard form of Dialga first debuted in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, and its Origin Forme was introduced in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}. In Legends: Arceus, it changes between its standard form and Origin Forme when exposed to an [[Adamant Crystal]]. In {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, Dialga transforms into its Origin Forme while holding an Adamant Crystal. If it is deposited in {{g|HOME}}, it will revert to its standard form.

The forms differ in their [[base stats]]: Dialga's Origin Forme has decreased {{stat|Attack}} and increased {{stat|Special Defense}} compared to its standard form, though its base stat total is the same. In Legends: Arceus, its [[signature move]], {{m|Roar of Time}}, has modified base power and accuracy when used by its Origin Form, as well as a unique animation.

[[File:Primal Dialga anime.png|thumb|250px|Primal Dialga in the anime]]
====Major appearances====
=====[[Dialga (movie)]]=====
Dialga made its physical debut in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'', where it fought with {{mov|Palkia}} and {{OBP|Darkrai|M10}} in a {{pkmn|battle}} that nearly destroyed [[Alamos Town]]. It then briefly reappeared in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''. During its trip back to its own dimension, Dialga ended up in the [[Reverse World]] and got attacked by {{mov|Giratina}}, who had been angered by Dialga and Palkia's fight in the previous movie.
In ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'', Dialga was shown for the first time with both the other members of the [[Pokémon of Myth]]. After being called by [[Sheena]] to stop a spatial distortion, it briefly fought with Giratina once more. Later, it returned to help Palkia and Giratina fight {{OBP|Arceus|M12}}. After being injured, it sent Sheena, {{Ash}}, and {{ashfr}} [[Time travel|back in time]] to fix Arceus's betrayal.
=====Dialga (recurring)=====
A Dialga appeared in ''[[JN089|The Gates of Warp!]]'' and ''[[JN090|Showdown at the Gates of Warp!]]'', where it was a target of [[Alternate World Team Rocket]], along with {{OBP|Palkia|recurring}}. Using a [[Red Chain]], alternate Team Rocket forced the two [[Legendary Pokémon]] to fight, creating time distortions that caused Pokémon to start [[Devolution|devolving]] and eventually revert into {{pkmn|Egg}}s, which Team Rocket would then steal and raise to be their own. The battle was finally stopped when Ash, {{an|Dawn}}, [[Goh]], [[Chloe]], and their alternate world counterparts prayed for {{p|Arceus}} to do so. Freed from the Red Chain, Dialga and Palkia then undid all the devolutions their battle had caused.
=====[[Primal Dialga]]=====
In ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky - Beyond Time & Darkness]]'', Primal Dialga was the protector of the [[Time Gear]]s.
=====Other=====
In ''[[DP152|The Battle Finale of Legend!]]'', Dialga and Palkia were summoned by [[Cyrus]] on the [[Spear Pillar]]. They were put under his control through the use of the Red Chain and were tasked by him to open a portal to another dimension, wanting a world of his own. After the Red Chain's destruction and Cyrus's exit, Dialga and Palkia rampaged, creating a danger for [[Sinnoh]]. However, the two were calmed down and sent away with the help of the {{an|lake guardians}}.
In ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]'', Dialga was one of six Legendary Pokémon summoned and hypnotized by the shadow {{form|Hoopa|Hoopa Unbound}} as its reinforcements. It and its teammates engaged in a battle against the {{p|Latios}}, {{p|Latias}}, and {{Shiny}} {{p|Rayquaza}} summoned to protect the real {{an|Hoopa}} in [[Dahara City]]. Eventually, after the shadow Hoopa was sealed in a [[Prison Bottle]], the hypnosis on Dialga and the other Legendary Pokémon was lifted, and Dialga departed for its home.
====Minor appearances====
Dialga debuted in a fantasy in ''[[DP036|A Secret Sphere of Influence!]]''.
Dialga appeared in a fantasy in ''[[DP097|Double Team Turnover!]]''.

In ''[[PG11|The New World]]'', Dialga and Palkia were captured at [[Spear Pillar]] by [[Cyrus]], who intended to use them to destroy the world and create a new one. Along with Palkia, it was freed by {{p|Giratina}} before they could help Cyrus succeed in his goal.

===Pokémon Adventures===
{{main|Pokémon of Myth (Adventures)}}
===={{MangaArc|Diamond & Pearl}}====
Dialga first appeared in ''[[PS410|Creeping Away from Cradily]]''. Dialga, along with Palkia, was summoned by [[Cyrus]] in order to create a new world. Cyrus used the Red Chains to force Dialga and Palkia to fight each other in order to distort time and space and create a portal that would swallow the existing world. {{adv|Diamond}}, {{adv|Pearl}} and {{adv|Platinum}} worked together with their Pokémon to free Dialga and Palkia from their controlled states.
Later on, an accident with handling [[Charon]]'s machine caused Dialga, Palkia and Cyrus to be dragged into the portal before it closed completely.
===={{MangaArc|Platinum}}====
It was revealed that {{p|Giratina}} imprisoned both Dialga and Palkia in the [[Distortion World]] before setting off into the current dimension to wreak havoc. Soon, Cyrus and Diamond met in the Distortion World, and agreed to free Dialga and Palkia using their Pokémon. Dialga and Palkia later resumed their struggle against Giratina in the Distortion World. When Charon decided to escape from the Distortion World on Giratina, Diamond got on Dialga and chased after him. Giratina was eventually defeated, with Dialga and Palkia forcing it back into the Distortion World for good before both returned to the Spear Pillar.
===={{MangaArc|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}====
Dialga was created in the [[Sinjoh Ruins]], along with Palkia and Giratina, by {{p|Arceus}}'s creation process, which was forced by [[Team Rocket]]'s {{tc|Executive}}s. Knowing that the creation process would threaten the [[Johto]] region, Team Rocket's true leader {{adv|Giovanni}} returned with [[Lance]] and [[Pryce]] to keep the Pokémon of Myth at bay while {{adv|Gold}} tried to calm Arceus down. Dialga was kept at bay by Pryce and his {{p|Swinub}}. Once Arceus was eventually becalmed, Dialga and Palkia departed from Johto and were spotted by [[Cynthia]].
===Pokémon Battrio: Aim to be Battrio Master!===
A Dialga appeared in [[ABM02]] under the ownership of [[Manabu Kazuo]].
===Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!===
In [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!]], [[Hareta]] and [[Mitsumi]] set out on a {{pkmn|journey}} with the intention of finding Dialga.

When Hareta managed to snap Dialga out of Cyrus's control, it was able to flee from Cyrus.
===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Blazing Exploration Team===
{{main|Primal Dialga}}
Primal Dialga first appeared in [[BET3]].
==In the TCG==
{{main|Dialga (TCG)}}
==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
[[File:SSBBSpearPillarDialga.png|thumb|250px|Dialga on the {{St|Spear Pillar}} stage in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]]]
Dialga appears as a stage Pokémon along with {{p|Palkia}}, {{p|Cresselia}}, and the [[lake guardians]] on the stage {{St|Spear Pillar}}. It affects the stage much differently than that of its counterpart, such as slowing down time, and even going off its post to attack the players in the middle. It can also distort the stage, like Palkia, but only slightly and not as extreme, as well as shoot beams from various locations.
====Trophy information====
''A Temporal Pokémon. This legendary Pokémon is talked about as a deity in fables passed down through generations in the Sinnoh region. Identifiable by the diamondlike crystal in the center of its chest, Dialga is said to have set time in motion at the moment of its birth. Its fearsome {{m|Roar of Time}} attack is so powerful that it must refrain from attacking on the next turn. It is Diamond's mascot.''
===[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U|Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]===
Dialga appears as a trophy.
====Trophy information====
''The concept of time has always been one of the world's great mysteries, but Dialga might hold the answer. Legend has it that Dialga's birth caused time to begin moving! It's no surprise that the people of Sinnoh see this Pokémon as a deity. If you're ever running late, maybe you could ask Dialga to do you a favour and turn back the clock.''
===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===
[[File:SSBUSpearPillarDialga.png|thumb|250px|Dialga on the {{St|Spear Pillar}} stage in [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]]]
Dialga reprises its role as a stage hazard on the returning {{St|Spear Pillar}} stage. Spear Pillar now allows for any of the three Legendary Pokémon to appear each time, rather than being set for the whole match. Unlike in ''Brawl'', Cresselia is now signified by the stage's color tint not changing from its new default green, rather than using Dialga's blue. Dialga also appears as a {{sbw|Spirit}}.

===Origin===
===Origin===
Dialga, along with {{p|Palkia}}, may be based on the {{wp|Shinto}} legend of {{wp|Izanami}} and {{wp|Izanagi}}, who are said to have created one island with a spear, erected a pillar on it, and from there created the islands of Japan. Appearance-wise, Dialga seems to be based on short-necked sauropod dinosaurs such as ''{{wp|Camarasaurus}}'' or ''{{wp|Brachytrachelopan}}''. Its type is {{t|Steel}} possibly due to the hardness of {{wp|diamonds}}, or the fact that most parts of a clock are made of metal, such as the gears. It may also be because diamonds are compressed carbon, and steel is an alloy from iron and carbon. Its turquoise pattern on its body is vaguely reminiscent to clock hands, where the ends of the "clock hands" are diamond-shaped.

The turquoise pattern on its body is vaguely reminiscent of clock hands, where the ends of the "clock hands" are diamond-shaped.
 
Its {{t|Steel}} type is likely to come from the concept of {{wp|adamant}}, which is an archaic word for diamond, meaning "unconquerable", where the qualities of hard metal (probably steel) were attributed to it. It is also possibly due to the hardness of {{wp|diamond}}s, the fact that metal is known to last long periods of time, or the fact that most parts of a clock are made of metal, such as the gears. It may also be because diamonds are compressed carbon, and steel is an alloy from iron and carbon. Metaphorically, it could be a reference to the rigid and unaltering pattern of passing time, as metals are known for their resilience against physical forces. The Steel-type might also represent the solid {{wp|state of matter}}, whereas Palkia's {{type|Water}} represents the liquid state and {{p|Giratina}}'s {{type|Ghost}} represents the gaseous state.
 
Dialga's Origin Forme appears to be based on {{p|Arceus}}. Like with Arceus, it may be based on a ''{{wp|qilin}}'' or ''{{wp|Longma}}'', as it possesses both equine and dragon-like qualities, the latter of which are more pronounced in Dialga's case due to its Dragon typing.


====Name origin====
====Name origin====
Dialga is derived from diamond. ''Ga'' may be a corruption of ''gon'' from ''dragon''. It may also involve ''dia'' (Spanish for ''day'', referring to a unit of time) or ''dial'' (as in ''{{wp|sundial}}'', an instrument used to tell time using shadows on a clock face).
