Giratina may be based on the biblical figure of the {{wp|Fallen Angels}}, celestial beings that rebelled against God and were excommunicated to Hell. This is analogous to Giratina, due to being a Pokémon created by [[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 Angel of Death and ruler of the 5th Heaven, which alludes to Giratina being the ruler of another dimension ([[Reverse World]]). 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 Angels}}, celestial beings that rebelled against God and were excommunicated to Hell.

Giratina may also 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 may also 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. |
