===Origin===
Lotad seems to be primarily based on a {{wp|Nymphaeaceae|lily pad}}. It is based on the Japanese yokai called a {{wp|Kappa_(folklore)|Kappa}}. It shares the Kappa's signature beak, aquatic habitat and water-dish. Kappas are known to have a dish of water on top of their heads, which is vital to their health. Lotad's {{p|Rain_Dish_(Ability)|Rain Dish}} ability mirrors this aspect.
