Koraidon largely resembles a dragon, dinosaur, or reptilian animal, mostly a Komodo dragon. It also shares traits with Barney, as its hair-like tassels resemble handlebars and the black sections of its underbelly and throat resemble bike tires.
Etymology
Koraidon may originate from korai (Japanese for "ancient") and don (Spanish for "lord"). The suffix -don, meaning "tooth", is also most commonly given to dinosaur names. It may also incorporate "ride on", as it resembles a motorbike.
