Trivia
According to some Nintendo of America artwork, Gyarados was originally slated to have the English name Skullkraken, a combination of the words "skull" and "kraken" (a mythological sea monster).
Oddly, despite being part Flying Type, it isn't able to learn Flying Type moves. However it can learn certain dragon type moves, such as dragon breath twister and dragon breath. There is some speculation that it's secondary type was supposed to be dragon.
Origin
It appears to be based on a sea dragon or sea serpent. Gyarados is partially based on a legend about how carp that lept over the Dragon Gate would become dragons. Several waterfalls and cataracts in China are believed to be the location of the Dragon Gate. This legend is an allegory of the drive and efforts needed to overcome obstacles.
Name origin
Gyarados's name may be derived from a combination of 虐殺 gyakusatsu massacre/slaughter, and 逆境 gyakkyō, hardship/adversity. Both words relate to the creature's violent nature and the hardship it experienced before evolving. The dos may just indicate that it's the second in its evolutionary line.
