Lugia's tendency for being underwater resembles {{wp|plesiosauria|plesiosaurs}}. It is also possible that Lugia may be based on ''{{wp|Ryūjin}}'', a dragon who lived on the ocean floor and was the Shinto god of the sea. The two have similarities in mythology, and Lugia's Shiny colors (red and white) are the same colors as the coral {{wp|Ryūgū-jō|''Ryujin'''s palace}} was made of. Lugia's avian body, coloration and face-markings suggests that it may be somewhat based on the {{wp|grey heron}}. The {{wp|beluga whale}}, a white whale with a similar body shape and coloration to Lugia, may also be a basis for Lugia's design and name. Lugia's back fins and tail spikes are reminiscent of the ''{{wp|Stegosaurus}}''. | Lugia's tendency for being underwater resembles {{wp|plesiosauria|plesiosaurs}}.
