Lapras is a Water and Ice type Pokemon first introduced in the original Pokemon games of the 1990s, where it became known as a gentle transport Pokemon that carries people across the sea. Its distinctive cry was created for those early handheld games and has been carried forward, with variations, through later Pokemon titles, the anime series and fan-made soundboards. Because Lapras remains a fan favourite for its design and calm personality, its short cry is still shared online in gameplay clips, edits and reaction videos.
