==Concept and characteristics==
Developed by [[Game Freak]] and published by [[Nintendo]], the [[Pokémon (video game series)|''Pokémon'' series]] began in Japan in 1996 with the release of [[Pokémon Red and Blue|''Pokémon Red'' and ''Blue'']] for the [[Game Boy]]. In these games, the player assumes the role of a [[Pokémon Trainer]] whose goal is to capture and train creatures called Pokémon. Players use the creatures' special abilities to combat other Pokémon,<ref name="manual">{{cite book |author = Game Freak |title = ''Pokémon Red'' and ''Blue'', Instruction manual |publisher = [[Nintendo]] |date =September 30, 1998 |title-link = Pokémon Red and Blue |author-link = Game Freak }}</ref>{{rp|6-7,11}} and some can transform into stronger species, or [[Gameplay of Pokémon#Pokémon evolution|evolve]], once they gain enough [[experience point|experience]] or through other methods.{{r|manual}}{{rp|31,35}} The ultimate goal is to complete the [[Gameplay of Pokémon#Pokédex|Pokémon index]] (Pokédex), a comprehensive Pokémon encyclopedia, by capturing, evolving, and trading to obtain creatures from all [[List of Pokémon|Pokémon species]].<ref name="manual"/>{{rp|6-7}}

Lapras was one of 151 different designs conceived by [[Game Freak]]'s character development team and finalized by [[Ken Sugimori]] for the first generation of ''Pocket Monsters'' games ''Red'' and ''Green'', which were localized outside Japan as [[Pokémon Red and Blue|''Pokémon Red'' and ''Blue'']].<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.nintendo.co.jp/ds/interview/irbj/vol1/index2.html |title=2. 一新されたポケモンの世界 |page=2 |work=Nintendo.com |publisher=[[Nintendo]] |access-date=2010-09-10 |author=Staff |language=ja}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=91965 |title=Game Freak on Pokémon! |author=Stuart Bishop |publisher=CVG |date=2003-05-30 |access-date=2008-02-07 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080116030930/http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=91965 |archive-date=2008-01-16 |url-status=dead }}</ref> Its English name is a romanization of the Japanese name ''Rapurasu'', subsequently revealed to be the Japanese way of writing ''Laplace'', a name likely based after the mathematician [[Pierre-Simon Laplace]].<ref>[https://assets.pokemon.com//assets/cms2-it-it/pdf/play-pokemon/rules/wc12-battle-dictionary.pdf ''Names of Pokémon'' section of the official Battle Dictionary].</ref><ref name="lapras">[https://www.liberation.fr/apps/2016/06/pokemon/ Description of the French translation of Pokémon names from the translator Julien Bardakoff].</ref> In the ''Pokémon Red'' and ''Blue'' beta version, Lapras was named "Ness".<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/articles/5zgSym8K6xnPxqYs9Knr3Dj/25-years-of-pokemon-five-things-you-didnt-know|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210222230641/https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/articles/5zgSym8K6xnPxqYs9Knr3Dj/25-years-of-pokemon-five-things-you-didnt-know|url-status=dead|archive-date=2021-02-22|title=BBC - The Social - 25 Years of Pokémon: Five things you didn't know|date=22 February 2021}}</ref>

Lapras, known as the [[Transport]] Pokémon, is a large sea creature which resembles a [[plesiosaur]]. It may also be inspired by [[placodont]]s. It has four flippers, however its front ones are notably larger than its hind flippers. It has a long neck, and large black eyes. Lapras has unusual curled ears and a short horn in the middle of its forehead. The majority of its body is blue, while its underside is a light cream-yellow color. Its most distinguishing feature is the gray shell on its back, which is largely dotted with blunt knobs. Lapras is most known for its fondness of moving people and Pokémon across bodies of water.<ref>{{pokédex|crystal|This gentle Pokémon loves to give people rides and provides a very comfortable way to get around.}}</ref> Some Lapras are able to develop Psychic abilities such as [[telepathy]],<ref>{{pokédex|yellow|A gentle soul that can read the minds of people.

Unfortunately due to their docile nature they do not like to fight, and this has made them an easy target for hunters,<ref>{{pokédex|gold|They have gentle hearts.

In [[Pokémon Sword and Shield|''Pokémon Sword'' and ''Shield'']], Lapras received a Gigantamax form with access to the unique G-Max Move G-Max Resonance, the only Ice-type G-Max Move.<ref name=Gigantamax>{{cite web|title=Pokemon: The 10 Best G-Max Moves, Ranked|last=Cole|first=Gene|date=8 April 2020|url=https://www.thegamer.com/pokemon-best-g-max-moves-ranked/|access-date=January 6, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210106171108/https://www.thegamer.com/pokemon-best-g-max-moves-ranked/|archive-date=January 6, 2021|url-status=live}}</ref>
