As a fighting/steel type, Lucario battles primarily with the metallic spikes protruding from its paws and chest, which some fans have even likened to crucifixion symbolism, and knowing Japan's taste in foreign religious iconography, it might not be all that big of a stretch, really. Others, meanwhile have compared its humanoid, Jackal-like appearance to Anubis, the Egyptian god of the dead. It's easy to see why some might find so much depth and edginess to the design, and how it may have earned a place on pokeween alongside so many morbid ghouls and fiends.
