Considering the strong resemblance and the high chance its partial origin was slavic dragons then, hey, why not mention the possible reference the green, shiny coloration may have to the specific Slavic dragon in folklore, Zmey Gorynych? Just want to hear your thoughts on this. - [[User:050294|050294]] ([[User talk:050294|talk]]) 04:40, 5 May 2013 (UTC) | Considering the strong resemblance and the high chance its partial origin was slavic dragons then, hey, why not mention the possible reference the green, shiny coloration may have to the specific Slavic dragon in folklore, Zmey Gorynych?

:Sorry, my wording may not have been the best there. I meant that Shiny coloration are rarely a reference to any specific character or entity. Klink and Petilil both list their Shiny colorations as reference to phenomenon or design origins, not characters. While Zmey Gorynych was a specific green slavic dragon, he was also a typical example of a slavic dragon. There's not much to link him to Hydreigon's Shiny form, other than his color as his design is apparently typical for dragons from that region. If they shared more in common, I'd be more inclined to accept the trivia. As it is, I don't feel it's worth noting as a particular design origin or reference.
