 ===Origin===
 Giratina may be based on Seta, a giant centipede, from the Japanese fairytale, "{{wp|My Lord Bag of Rice}}", which was said to prey on dragon hatchlings and be as large as a mountain. Giratina's Altered Forme is also possibly based on a {{wp|basilisk}}, and its Origin Forme may be based on a {{wp|snake|serpent}}.

-Alternately, when seen as a counterpoint to Arceus and the normal world, Giratina and the Distortion World might be seen to represent Satan and Hell from Judeo-Christian belief. This seems confirmed by Altered Forme's six wing spikes, six legs and six rib-like protrusions and Origin Forme's six wings, six leg-like spikes and six ribs, Six-Six-Six being considered by many to be the {{wp|Number_of_the_Beast}}. That being said, the ability to capture and train Giratina as well as its seeming benevolence in the eleventh and twelfth movies might put that theory to question.
