Trivia

Origin

Bagon is based on a dragon, but possibly draws some aspects from pachycephalosaurus, a species of two-legged dinosaurs known for their domed heads.

Name origin

Bagon's name is possibly a combination of baby and dragon. Its Japanese name is a combination of 竜 tatsu, dragon, and possibly English baby. Its German name, Kindwurm, comes from Kind and Lindwurm. Its French name, Draby, comes from dragon and baby.
