If you aren't aware, Gen 6 Legendaries inspirations are based of Nordic mythology, where most of their inspirations are from Yggdrasil, a giant cosmic tree were many giant animals lived there, most notably a deer where from its horns' water went down to a spring, a giant eagle and a snake/dragon at the roots of the tree. All 3 of them where the ones making sure Yggdrasil are alive. Of course, that's not their only inspiration but that looks like the main one seeing it fits all of them. In fact for Zygarde, its different forms are all based of children of Loki (god of illusion, tricking) and a giant. Its dog form is from Fenrir, a very powerful dog/wolf to the point even gods were scared of it. It even ate Odin, a sort of Nordic Zeus with all sorts of powers and abilities like poetry, magic, ruling on the deads and others. Its snake/dragon form is from Jörmungand, a giant sea dragon to ths point it grew to become a sort of Ouroboros, surrounding the world. It was one of Thor's biggest opponent, so much that Thor passed away after fighting it from its poison Its giant human-like form is based of Hel, a goddess with 2 faces : one in the world of mortals, another in the world of the deads (called Helheim). She's even the one leading people to Valhalla, the paradise of glorious Nordic warriors. It makes lots of sense that she's at this role right now, as Hell maybe comes from her name But yeah, less of a teacher and more of an average Joe (or Jean ?) here, Zygarde was a PAIN to beat. I didn't even bother shiny hunting it
Awesome! I knew it came from Nordic mythology but didn't know that much specifics, so I'm glad to know more now about the specific real life mythology!
