Regirock is based on the {{wp|golem}}s of Hebrew legend. The legends cast them as servants of higher powers and are said to have writing on their heads.

The legendary golems' typing could have been a reference to the {{wp|three-age system|three major ages}} in history, with Regirock being {{wp|Stone Age}}. | Regirock is based on the {{wp|golem}}s of Hebrew legend.
