This [[Pokémon]] is based on the fabled {{wp|Loch Ness Monster}} in Scotland. The creature and this Pokémon are said to resemble the marine reptile known as the {{wp|plesiosaurus}}. However, Lapras does not have the plesiosaurus's long neck, whereas the body is very similar to the creature that is said to be in Loch Ness. Lapras's intelligence and rarity can be comparable with some {{wp|cetacean}}. It does resemble Dorrie, a plesiosaurs like creature from Super Mario 64.
