 ===Origin===
-Luxray appears to be based on a {{wp|lynx}}, which possess great eyesight, some myths even depicting them as being able to see through solid objects, a trait Luxray has. Its appearance however, resembles more that of an adult male {{wp|lion}}. It may have also been inspired by the mythical {{wp|sphinx}}, as its short face, human-like ears, and lion-like appearance are similar. In addition, it may have been inspired by the constellation {{wp|Leo (constellation)|Leo}}, due to Luxray's lion-like appearance and the fact that it and its pre-evolved forms bear a signature star shape on the end of their tail. Furthermore, its Japanese name suggests at least some minor influence from {{wp|tiger}}s.

 Luxray's ability to see through solid objects is similar to a modern {{wp|Radiography|radiograph}} or "x-ray machine", explaining the basis for its name and {{t|Electric}} typing.
