===Origin===
Kyogre is most likely based on the Hebrew legends of {{wp|Leviathan}}, the unconquerable primal master of the sea. Its counterparts were {{wp|Behemoth}} and {{wp|Ziz}}. Just as Kyogre is in conflict with Groudon, it was said that at the end of time Leviathan and Behemoth would start a battle that would kill them both. The Hebrew word for Leviathan is now used for whales in modern Hebrew, which may be why Kyogre's appearance also draws inspiration from whales, especially the {{wp|orca}}.
