Both are [[Legendary Pokémon|Legendary]] {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that are responsible for the special type of transformation ([[Dynamax]]/[[Gigantamax]] and [[Terastal phenomenon|Terastilization]]) found within their respective origin [[region]]s ([[Galar]] and [[Paldea]]). They also both have transformations exclusive to them related to these phenomena increasing their [[stat]]s (Eternatus' [[Eternamax]] form and Terapagos' Stellar Form, though the former is unobtainable) and can absorb the energy needed to use these transformations from other Pokémon, thereby rendering them unavailable. Both of them were also introduced in a game which would receive DLc and whose [[game mascot]]s comprise a [[legendary group|Legendary duo]].

 ===Origin===
 Eternatus's extraterrestrial nature and {{wp|dragon}}-like appearance may be inspired by {{wp|Uther Pendragon}}, {{wp|King Arthur}}'s father, who acquired his {{wp|epithet}} and started using dragons on his {{wp|Heraldic flag#Standard|standards}} after witnessing a dragon-shaped comet. Its abilities may also draw inspiration from {{wp|nuclear power}}, particularly its seemingly endless supply of energy which [[Rose]] attempted to use as a power source for [[Galar]] and which leaks out in the form of particles and is the source of the Dynamax phenomenon. In fiction, nuclear radiation is often used as a catalyst for granting superpowers or creating ''{{wp|kaiju}}''. It also vaguely resembles aliens from various pieces of media. This is also indicated by its association with wishing stars. Eternatus aesthetically seems to also be inspired by the concept of {{wp|diaphonization}}, the technique used to stain animal bones and cartilage. This being shown by Eternatus remotely resembling a skeleton. The most common dyes used for this process, alcian blue and alizarin red, could be analogous to Zacian and Zamazenta respectively.
