The fact is indon’t believe it’s a Minogame, as Wartortle already sort of uses that as a basis; we need to remember, despite looking like a Turtle, Dragons, or even Dragons with turtle like shells, have also been depicted this way in art as well.
The thing about Dragons in China, is that beards/tail length indicate age, with Terastal form gaining a ‘beard’ of sorts, and having it’s tail grow Lon with hair, much like a Minogame would gain a ‘tail’ of seaweed for its many years of life, these are simply shared design ideas between common myths.
