Seaking (Pokémon): Difference between revisions

It may just be based on a {{wp|goldfish}}. The horn part may be based on Matsya, an avatar that the hindu god {{wp|Brahma}} assumed, which is sometimes depicted as a fish with a horn.

Seaking's name is simply a combination of ''sea'' and ''king'' (seeking?). Its Japanese name may be based on 小豆鱒 ''azukimasu'', {{wp|rock cod}} and 魔王 ''ma-ō'', devil king. Interestingly enough, its Japanese name may also be taken to literally mean 東王 ''azuma-ō'', East king.  Furthermore, an アズマニシキ ''azumanishiki'' is a kind of goldfish.
