Pokémon source and ecology: Lokia, known as the god of the sea but without a water system

author:Rui Xiaoer

Lokia's Pokémon is higher than the Phoenix King in a sense, because it has an exclusive theatrical version, and in the theatrical version, it is the key to maintaining world peace, balancing the power of the three divine birds of the Orange Islands, maintaining the artery currents at the bottom of the sea, and because it lives in the water and protects the sea, Lokia has always been revered as the god of the sea, but the Pokémon itself that guards the sea does not have the attribute of the water system, but the flight system plus the superpower system, then, Lokia, this giant "bird." What kind of divine is it and what mythological element does it represent? Let's take a look together.

PS: This article is purely a personal opinion, if there is any error, please correct.

Kunpeng is so big, I don't know how many thousands of miles it is:

Although Lokia does not look like a bird, but it can actually be considered a bird, because in the setting it has silver feathers, which is a unique physical feature of birds, Lokia usually lives in the depths of the trench, but once on the surface of the sea will wave its wings to spread its wings in the air, and can even cause up to 40 days of storms, for Lokia is a "giant bird living at the bottom of the sea" image description, it is easy to think of Kunpeng, Kunpeng is a creature in ancient Chinese mythology, Kunpeng will change from the form of a whale to a peng with wings, Whether it is a kunai or a peng, they have the characteristics of a very large form, so they "don't know how many thousands of miles they are."

Dragon gods living in the sea:

And about the main prototype of Lokia, the encyclopedia mentions that Lokia may be based on the Japanese Shinto sea god - dragon god, the heterochromatic Lokia color matching may refer to the dragon god's residence Ryugu City, about this, Xiao Er itself did not find detailed information on the Internet, and can not distinguish which kind of dragon god is referred to here, from the point of view that the dragon god lives in Ryugu City, the Japanese dragon god may be similar to the mythical Middle East Sea Dragon King and other dragons living at the bottom of the sea (but strictly speaking, the East Sea Dragon King does not belong to the dragon), Therefore, although it is considered to be a legendary bird Pokémon, it also includes elements of dragons, dinosaurs, and marine life (pictured above is a drawing of Kunpeng).

Other prototypes of Lokia:

Although the main prototype of Lokia is from the mythical and legendary biological image, but still has the characteristics of real animals, the encyclopedia also says this, its bird-shaped body, body color and head features may be derived from the heroon, so it is also like the immortal bird Bennu bird in Egyptian mythology, and the relevant description of the immortal bird, we have mentioned it once in the article on the flame bird, in Egyptian mythology, the Bennu bird is believed to be the soul of the sun god Ra, Atum or Osiris, and is often drawn as a bird with a long beak, Gray, purple, blue or white herons wearing double-feathered crowns sometimes appear as other birds such as eagles.

In addition, according to Lokia's body shape and color, it may also be based on beluga whales, especially when Lokia churns out of the water, in fact, it is somewhat similar to whales out of the water, if Lokia does not have a pair of wings, it is indeed very similar to whales in a sense, which can also make people feel closer to the Kunpeng prototype above; And the shape of Lokia's back and tail fins may come from the bone plate and tail spikes on the back of Stegosaurus, and the elements of dinosaurs are less obvious, so Xiao Er will not elaborate much here, Lokia is exerted with the power of sending wind in the theatrical version, but it is described in the booklet that it can destroy houses by gently flapping its wings, which is quite contradictory.

In short, Lokia is such a fantastic Pokémon, because living in the trench is not easy to appear, you can imagine how few sightings are recorded.
