Biology
Trivia
Origin
Koraidon may be based on a marine iguana or a Komodo dragon. Some elements of its design resemble parts of a motorcycle: its horns are similar to handlebars, and the black coloration on the base of its tail together with the protrusion on its neck resemble wheels. The webbed hands and feet may have taken inspiration from a gecko.
Name origin
Koraidon may be a combination of 古来 korai (ancient, from time immemorial), ライド raido (ride), don (Spanish for lord), and -don (common suffix in dinosaur names derived from the Ancient Greek word for tooth).
