Kyogre may be modeled after the Earth's oceans and may also be a personification of the ocean. Its conflict with Groudon is similar to that of {{wp|Leviathan}} and {{wp|Behemoth}}, who would start a battle that would kill them both at the end of time. Like Kyogre, Leviathan is associated with the sea, and the Hebrew word for Leviathan is now used for whales in Modern Hebrew, which may be why Kyogre's appearance also draws inspiration from {{wp|whale}}s, especially the {{wp|Killer whale|orca}}. However, Leviathan does not resemble Kyogre in traditional depictions. It may also be based on a {{wp|kaiju}}. | Kyogre may be modeled after the Earth's oceans and may also be a personification of the ocean.
