Origin
Cobalion appears to be based on the character of Athos from the novel The Three Musketeers. Like Athos, Cobalion is the oldest and the de facto leader of the group. Like the others of its trio, its appearance is based on ungulates. It bears close resemblance to a markhor (a type of goat) and species of antelope such as the greater kudu or eland. Like the other members of its trio, its nose is shaped like that of a sheep or goat.
Name origin
Cobalion and Cobalon are derived from cobalt (a metal and a color) and possibly champion.
