Lucario is a Fighting/Steel type Pokémon introduced in Generation 4. Lucario is a bipedal canine-like Pokémon. It is blue and black in color with red eyes. It has round spikes protruding from the back of each forepaw and a third on its chest, as well as two pairs of aura sensors that are appendages hanging down from the back of its head. Lucario is based on the mythical creature Anubis, the jackal-headed god associated with mummification and the afterlife in ancient Egyptian religion.
