 ===Origin===
 Appearance-wise, Garchomp seems like a cross between a {{wp|European dragon}}, various species of sharks (including the {{wp|hammerhead shark|hammerhead}}), and possibly a {{wp|dromaeosaurid}} or other {{wp|theropod}} dinosaur. Its design also strongly resembles a {{wp|jet aircraft}}.
-Garchomp's concept seems to be also based on a {{wp|Bulette}}, also known as landshark, a recurrent creature from the D&D series. It could be specifically based on the Gareshona, a kaiju themed Bulette.  Its Dragon type might be a reference to {{wp|Wani (dragon)|Wani}}, a japanese dragon often represented as a shark or as a alligator.
 ====Name origin====
-Garchomp may be a combination and corruption of ''gore'' (a projecting point), ''guard'' or ''{{wp|Carcharodon}}'' (the scientific name for sharks) and ''chomp''. ''Gar'' may also derive from ''{{wp|garpike}}'' (a species of fish somewhat similar in appearance), ''gargantuan'' (relating to its size) or ''{{wp|gargoyle}}'' which occasionally bears a likeness to {{wp|European dragon}}s. It could also involve a corruption of Gareshona.

 Gaburias may be a combination of がぶがぶ ''gabugabu'' (onomatopoeia for gulping) or がぶりと ''gaburito'' (bite or chew) and アース ''āsu'' (earth) or ''{{wp|Carcharias}}''.
