(→Biology: the rings don't go all the way around in back. You can see by checking its back sprites - they're open in the back as well as the front, and the previous biology described them as circling around the back of its neck. Also added more details) |

Giratina is a large, gray, draconic Pokémon with three gold half rings on each side of its long neck. Its head has a gold crown-like object surrounding it with two large horns pointing sideways. A thick black stripe runs vertically along its front with five red horizontal stripes. In its Altered Forme, it has two large black ghostly wings with three red tips on each that can resemble claws. These wings can change shape as if made of a liquid or gas. Its six legs are thick and have golden claws. Two golden half-circles similar to those on its neck are on each side of each leg, resembling shackles. It has a tail. | Giratina is a large, gray, draconic Pokémon with three gold half-rings on each side of its long neck.

Its legs are reduced to golden-tipped spikes, and four additional golden spikes appear near the edge of its tail. While in Origin Forme, the six gold half-rings can grip objects. The back points of each half-ring have a black ghostly tendril with red a spike at its tip. The horns on its head are now facing the back. The sides of the golden "crown" cover its mouth and separate vertically like an insect's mandible when it opens its mouth. The black vertical stripe is broken into pieces and runs all the way down its body. Giratina can only be in its Origin Forme when in its home, the Distortion World, or when holding a [[Griseous Orb]]. | ||
Giratina is able to travel through and control dimensions besides those of time and space. When in its Origin Forme, it is able to pass through dimensions at will, however, it will turn back to its Altered Forme due to the gravity change from the Distortion World. Giratina is a highly aggressive and territorial Pokémon that is protective of its home. [[Sinnoh myths|Legends]] claim that Giratina appears in cemeteries and that it supposedly lives in a world on the reverse side. It was said to be banished for "violence", though in the anime it is shown to possess a gentle side as well. Giratina is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that can learn {{m|Shadow Force}}. | Giratina is able to travel through and control dimensions besides those of time and space.

Giratina may be based on the biblical figure of the {{wp|fallen angel}}, celestial beings that rebelled against God and were excommunicated to Hell. This is analogous to Giratina, due to being a Pokémon created by {{p|Arceus}} (Pokémon World's God) and excommunicated to another dimension due to its belligerent nature. Nonetheless, it might have drawn inspiration by {{wp|Samael}}, who is the ruler of the 5th Heaven and has grim and destructive duties whilst being member of a heavenly host; both traits allude to Giratina being the ruler of another dimension ([[Reverse World]]) and its threatening visage. Furthermore, both of Giratina's Forms resemble the {{wp|The Beast (Revelation)|Beasts of Revelation}}, with its Altered Form standing for the "Earth Beast", and its Origin Form standing for the "Sea Beast". | Giratina may be based on the biblical figure of the {{wp|fallen angel}}, celestial beings that rebelled against God and were excommunicated to Hell.
