===Origin===
Luxray resembles an adult male {{wp|lion}}. Luxray may have been inspired by the mythical {{wp|sphinx}}, as its short face, human-like ears, and lion-like appearance are similar as well as the constellations {{wp|Leo (constellation)|Leo}}, due to Luxray's lion-like appearance and it and its pre-evolutions bearing a signature star shape on the end of their tail. Its Japanese name suggests at least some minor influence from {{wp|tiger}}s.

It's ability to see through solid objects is similar to a modern {{wp|Radiography|radiograph}} or "x-ray machine", explaining the basis for Luxray's name and Electric typing.
