Trivia
Origin
Lairon may be based on the Bulgasari, a monster that eats iron in Korean legend. Its draconic appearance was most likely inspired by how it appears in the film adaptation of the legend.
Lairon also has a similar body shape to the Placerias, a mammal-like synapsid from the Triassic period. As its Pokémon category suggests, its appearance may also be inspired by plate armours.
Name origin
Lairon may be a combination of lairy (slang for aggressive) or lair and iron.
Kodora may be a combination of 巨 ko (large) and dragon.
