Its grey eyes are however visible through a pair of openings on the helmet.

Origin
Type: Null may be based on a gryphon or a chimera. It also has many similarities to the dragon of the Ishtar Gate in the city of Babylon, such as the feline and dragon-like legs, dragon-like shape, and crest on its head. The ring surrounding its helmet resembles the one surrounding the torso of Arceus. It may also draw inspiration from Frankenstein's Monster, especially the bolts on either side of its head.

Etymology
Type: Null's name is a mixture of type, and null; having no legal or binding force, or the value of Zero. It may also mean "no type" in contrast to "Type: Full" meaning "all types".
