Giratina may be based Seta from the Japanese fairytale, {{wp|My Lord Bag of Rice}}, which was said to prey on dragon hatchlings and be as large as a mountain. Giratina is possibly based on a {{wp|basilisk}}. In its Altered Forme, Giratina's wings may be based on a bat's, and its body has an insect-like, six-legged feature, but its posture is similar to a {{wp|sauropod}}. Its Origin Forme has a body similar to a serpent, while the six protrusions on its body may be based on a {{wp|scorpion}}'s stinger or {{wp|spider}} legs. However this Forme also shares physical traits with the {{wp|Amphitere}}, a European dragon-like creature with wings but no legs. | Giratina may be based Seta, a giant centipede, from the Japanese fairytale, {{wp|My Lord Bag of Rice}}, which was said to prey on dragon hatchlings and be as large as a mountain.
