Origin and name origin
There is a speculation I found on several Japanese fansites about this Pokémon, saying that it is based on Newfoundland, a Canadian-origin large dog. "-rando" (-land) on its name helps.
Newfoundland dogs have innate swimming ability. Given the fact that Murando can learn Surf, the relation to Newfoundland should not be neglected. --Obscurites 07:32, 24 December 2010 (UTC)
