Kyogre may be modeled after the Earth's oceans and may also be a personification of the ocean. Its conflict with Groudon is similar to that of {{wp|Leviathan}} and {{wp|Behemoth}}, who would start a battle that would kill them both at the end of time. Like Kyogre, Leviathan is associated with the sea, and the Hebrew word for Leviathan is now used for whales in Modern Hebrew, which may be why Kyogre's appearance also draws inspiration from {{wp|whale}}s | Kyogre may be modeled after the Earth's oceans and may also be a personification of the ocean. Its appearance is inspired by the {{wp|Livyatan melvillei}}, a primordial predator whale, for the look and the primordial origin. It's also inspired in a minor part by {{wp|Killer whale|orca}}s for the white ovals near its head. Its conflict with Groudon is similar to that of {{wp|Leviathan}} and {{wp|Behemoth}}, who would start a battle that would kill them both at the end of time. Like Kyogre, Leviathan is associated with the sea, and the Hebrew word for Leviathan is now used for whales in Modern Hebrew, which may be why Kyogre's appearance also draws inspiration from {{wp|whale}}s. However, Leviathan does not resemble Kyogre in traditional depictions, because it's represented as a sea serpent and not a whale. | ||
