Kingdra (キングドラ, Kingudora?) (KING-dra[1]) is a Water/Dragon-type Pokémon introduced in Generation II.

Biology[]

Physiology[]

Kingdra concept art

Concept artwork of Kingdra.

Kingdra resembles a large, blue weedy sea dragon with two branch-like horns on its head and two pairs of flippers on each side with a yellow underbelly, which is the only section of its scaly body that isn't blue. It's tailed is tightly curled up. There are thin spines with a single branch atop its head and thin, white fins under its cheeks. Two-pronged fins extend slightly past its cheeks.

Behavior[]

It is said that Kingdra lives and sleeps at the bottom of the sea floor, at extreme depths that are otherwise devoid of life due to water pressure. It also usually hides in underwater caves. It is believed to create maelstroms by yawning. When a storm arrives, it is said to awaken and wander about in search of prey. When it comes to the surface, it creates a huge whirlpool with enough force to swallow ships.

Kingdra will appear on land whenever a storm is whipped up at sea. Once it crosses paths with Dragonite, a fierce battle ensues. The scales that Kingdra shed give off a brilliant gleam and are often given to royalty as gifts.

Natural abilities[]

Kingdra can create massive whirlpools at the bottom of the sea. It is also worth noting that its snout can fire powerful water jets, much like Blastoise's cannons.

Evolution[]

Kingdra evolves from Seadra if traded while holding a Dragon Scale and is the final evolution of Horsea.

    Etymology[]

    Kingdra comes from "king" and "dragon" or "hydra".

    Origin[]

    Kingdra is based on a weedy sea dragon (a type of seahorse with similar horns and fins to Kingdra). Its Dragon-type is because of both its sea dragon origins and the Japanese word for seahorse, 竜の落し子, which means "dragon's illegitimate child", derived from a Japanese myth that a seahorse who lives for a century would turn into a dragon. It's relation to Whirlpools and sleeping on the sea bed implies a relation to either Ryujin, a Japanese sea deity, or the Charybdis whirlpool from Greek mythology. It's line's ink abilities may be derived from squids, while their snout and Sniper ability may be based on a literal water gun.
