Lapras

() is a /-type Pokémon introduced in Generation I.
==Biology==
===Physiology===
Lapras is a very large /-type Pokémon that resembles a plesiosaur. Its skin is mainly a light blue with a cream/white underside. It has a very long neck with a rounded head. Its ears are shaped like spirals and it has a small horn on its forehead. Having no legs, it instead has four flippers for easy mobility in the water. Lapras also has a large, gray shell on its backs with "knobs" covering them.
====Gigantamax====
When it Gigantamaxes, it becomes much larger and its shell resembles a cruise ship. Its eyes now have a yellow, blue, and white color scheme. A ring of an icy music score surrounds it.
===Behavior===
Lapras is a gentle, helpful Pokémon that enjoys ferrying people across bodies of water. In the past, its docility made it an easy target for hunters, and it was driven to near-extinction. Recent protection efforts have seen Lapras become overabundant instead, which is now affecting the fish Pokémon numbers in some areas. An intelligent Pokémon, it is able to understand human speech. Lapras have been known to travel in large pods across the seas, spanning both polar and tropical areas. To keep in touch with other of its kind, it sings enchanting melodies. In the anime it was shown that Lapras is able to develop psychic abilities such as telepathy.
Also in PH032, that intelligence is exemplified by Lucius' Lapras, it was able to work and group together with other Pokémon that aren't it's own kind and cook up a scheme to steal food from ships. 
===Habitat===
They live out in the ocean near polar and tropical areas.
===Natural abilities===
Lapras can have the ability Water Absorb or the ability Shell Armor. With Water Absorb, Lapras can heal 1/4 of its max HP if it is hit with a -type attack. With the ability Shell Armor, Lapras can block any Critical Hits. Its hidden ability hydration will heal all its Status conditions in Rain.
In addition to this, Lapras can ferry people on its back and also sing people to sleep. Some Lapras can use Telepathy to communicate with humans as well.
Its Gigantamax form is said to be able to ferry 5000 people at one go and the music score can smash through icebergs, like Walrein using its Headbutts.

===Origin===
Lapras is based on a sea turtle, a plesiosaur (likely the Loch Ness Monster), and a Viking ship. Its behavior resembles that of cetaceans.
Gigantamax Lapras is based on a cruise ship, likely either the Titanic, which famously sank after hitting an iceberg, or the Queen Mary, as both were British in origin.
===Etymology===
Lapras may be a corruption of La Place (French for seat). This refers to how Lapras is commonly used as a form of transportation. Alternatively, it may come from , a mathematician who wrote several books on the mathematical properties of the ocean and tides, or lapis lazuli, a blue gemstone.
