Giratina is possibly based on a {{wp|basilisk}}. In the Altered Forme, the wings may be based on a bat's, and its body has an insect-like, six-legged feature, but its posture is similar to a {{wp|sauropod}}. Its Origin Forme has a body similar to a serpent, while the six protrusions on its body may be based on a {{wp|scorpion}}'s stinger. However this Forme also shares physical traits with the {{wp|Amphitere}}, a European dragon-like creature with wings but no legs. | Giratina is possibly based on a {{wp|basilisk}}.
