Origin
Kyogre is most likely based on the Hebrew legends of the leviathan, the gigantic primeval master of all sea creatures. While early myths about the leviathan make it out to be crocodile- or serpent-like, later depictions have changed to show it as a whale in many cases. Its counterpart was the behemoth. Kyogre's appearance draws inspiration from various whales, but it closely resembles an orca.
Name origin
Kyogre's name can be broken up into 海 kai, ocean, and orca, a species of dolphin. Its name is not likely to have been derived directly from ogre, which are mythological land beasts. It is worth noting that without the last syllable, Kyogre spells out 海王 kaiō, which are the first two characters in 海王星 Kaiōsei, Neptune.
