It may be based on a {{wp|maned wolf}} and a youkai of Japanese lore, the 雷獣 ''{{wp|raijū}}'', an elemental lightning creature that can take on the shape of various mammals, including a {{wp|tiger}}, {{wp|monkey}}, and blue {{wp|wolf}} wrapped in white and yellow lightning. Manectric is highly likely based on its wolf forme, while the Pokémon {{p|Raikou}} is based on its tiger forme.
