Lugia's mythology may be based on that of''{{wp|Ryūjin}}'', a dragon who lived on the ocean floor and was the Shinto god of the sea, and Lugia's Shiny colors (red and white) are the same colors as the coral {{wp|Ryūgū-jō|''Ryujin'''s palace}} was made of. In an interview, it was revealed Ho-Oh and Lugia as a duo represent the day and night, due to Gold and Silver having the new cycle. Lugia may also be an embodiment of storms. Lugia's avian body, coloration and face-markings suggests that it may be somewhat based on the {{wp|grey heron}}. The {{wp|beluga whale}}, a white whale with a similar body shape and coloration to Lugia, may also be a basis for Lugia's design and name. Lugia's back fins and tail spikes are reminiscent of the ''{{wp|Stegosaurus}}''. | ||
