I know these sections are speculative, but that doesn't mean that all speculation is equally valid and worth including. These supposed origins don't stand up to scrutiny and shouldn't be included. The Uther Pendragon one seems the most plausible to me, accounting for both its dragon design and extraterrestrial origin, and should be the lead sentence; the St George's Dragon also should not be discounted due to its explanation of the poison typing. But the rest? ''Maybe'' a line saying that Eternatus' sheer size was inspired by giants, but even that's pushing it.

: I am also having a bit of trouble seeing the similarity between Eternamax Eternatus and the Naga King. I don't think just having a coiled body with some powerful and significant entity (the core) sitting on top is enough to make a connection to a giant snake-deity serving as a living sofa for Vishnu. If anything, Eternatus seems closer to a Lovecraftian style eldritch abomination. --[[User:Adelon|Adelon]] ([[User talk:Adelon|talk]]) 20:21, 10 January 2020 (UTC) | |||

:No, it's the correct format. Just because the image hasn't been uploaded yet doesn't mean it's incorrect. The image will be uploaded once we get the artwork. And some red links are okay, especially for things that we'd actually want.--[[User:Force Fire|<span style="color:#00A1E9">'''F'''</span><span style="color:#59C2F1">orce</span>]][[User talk:Force Fire|<span style="color:#BF004F">'''F'''</span><span style="color:#D5598C">ire</span>]] 16:23, 7 January 2020 (UTC) | :No, it's the correct format.
