Lycanroc | Lycanroc is based on a {{wp|wolf}}, possibly the {{wp|Hokkaido wolf}} or the extinct {{wp|Japanese wolf}} subspecies. Its Rock-type seems to be a reference to the link between wolves (also called as 山犬 ''yamainu'', lit. mountain dog) and mountains in Japan. | ||
Lycanroc's Midday and Dusk Forms appear to be based on a {{wp|wolf}}, while its Midnight Form appears to be based on a {{wp|werewolf}}. The duality between Midday and Midnight Forms may be a reference to the {{wp|okuri-inu}}, a mountain wolf creature that could take either a protective approach, similar to Midday Form's behavior; or an aggressive one much like Midnight Form's. | Lycanroc's Midday and Dusk Forms appear to be based on a {{wp|wolf}}, while its Midnight Form appears to be based on a {{wp|werewolf}}.
