Zweilous | Zweilous seems to be based on the {{wp|Yamata no Orochi}}. Its multiple heads and Shiny coloration resemble the {{wp|Slavic dragon#Balkan Slavic dragons|Zmey Gorynych}}, and it may also incorporate elements of the {{wp|Lernaean Hydra}}. These mythological serpents may have inspired Hydreigon's {{t|Dark}} typing, as all three are deadly antagonists, with the Zmey Gorynych in particular {{wp|Dobrynya Nikitich#Dobrynya and the Dragon|shown to be deceptive}}. Due to its apparent blindness and only being found in [[Victory Road (Black 2 and White 2)|certain]] [[Victory Road (Kalos)|caves]], Zweilous may also be based on a {{wp|cave salamander}}. | ||
