Lapras is based on the fabled {{wp|Loch Ness Monster}} in {{wp|Scotland}}. The creature and this Pokémon resemble an extinct order of marine reptiles known as {{wp|Plesiosauria}}. Lapras's shell and horn may be inspired by {{wp|Placodontia|placodonts}}. Its intelligence, singing, and rarity can be comparable to some {{wp|cetacea}}ns, especially {{wp|blue whale}}s and {{wp|humpback whale}}s. Its long neck and robust body may also be inspired by the mastheads and hulls of {{wp|Viking}} ships. Its Gigantamax form may be based on a {{wp|cruise ship}}. | Lapras is based on the fabled {{wp|Loch Ness Monster}} in {{wp|Scotland}}.
