Lugia may resemble a ''{{wp|Plesiosaur}}'' an underwater swimming dinosaur. While it is regarded a Legendary bird Pokémon, it also has elements of dragons. It is suggested that ''{{wp|Ryūjin}}'', a dragon who lived on the ocean floor and was the Shinto god of the sea, is a possible basis for Lugia. The two have similarities in mythology, and further evidence lies in Lugia's Shiny coloration: red and white are also the colors of the coral of which the ''{{wp|Ryūgū-jō}}'''s palace was made. The beluga whale, a white whale with a similar body shape and coloration to Lugia, is also cited as a design source: at the very least, it may also form part of Lugia's name origin. Lugia's back fins and tail spikes are reminiscent of the ''{{wp|Stegosaurus}}''. | Lugia may resemble a ''{{wp|Plesiosaur}}'', an underwater swimming dinosaur.
