So, Turtonator has a feature over both of these (the shell commonly attributed to kappa), and yet I cannot even note the POSSIBILITY that it is based on a kappa... because? {{unsigned|GMario3826}}

:Golduck's origin notes the kappa because its Pokedex entries explicitly compare it to a kappa. Lombre's dish on its head collects water in the same way as a kappa's head, and it also has the kappa's beak.
:Turtonator, meanwhile, doesn't have the characteristic depression, doesn't have the beak, doesn't seem to live in watery areas or be amphibious in any way, and doesn't seem to have any behavioral similarities to kappas. The only connection I can see between Turtonator and kappas is that they're both bipedal and have turtle shells. I don't think we should be putting "kappa" in the origin of every bipedal turtle-like Pokemon; I think we've got to keep to a bit stricter standard about it.
