The original trio may also be thought of as representing the different domains of the world: Landorus represents the land, Tornadus the heavens, and Thundurus a transitional state between the two (lightning). | The original trio may also be thought of as representing the different domains of the world: Landorus represents the land, Tornadus the heavens, and Thundurus a transitional state between the two (lightning). | ||
Another inspiration for the quartet may also be four of the {{wp|Anemoi}} of Greek mythology combined with the four seasons. Thundurus may represent the south wind {{wp|Notus}}, who brings summer storms, and Tornadus the north wind {{wp|Boreas (god)|Boreas}}, who brings the winter. Enamorus may be a reference to the west wind {{wp|Zephyros}}, who is associated with flowers and spring and is sometimes a servant of the love god {{wp|Eros}}.

The concept of Incarnate and Therian Formes and the Reveal Glass may be based on ancient Chinese {{wp|Yaoguai}}, animals/plants cultivating the universal powers for thousands of years to become deities, but their true identities can still be revealed by the Demon-Detecting Mirror. {{wp|Incarnation}} is the process of an immaterial being taking on a material form, with this material form being an incarnation. Therian refers to something with a spiritual or psychological association with an animal. | The concept of Incarnate and Therian Formes and the Reveal Glass may be based on ancient Chinese {{wp|Yaoguai}}, animals/plants cultivating the universal powers for thousands of years to become deities, but their true identities can still be revealed by the Demon-Detecting Mirror. {{wp|Incarnation}} is the process of an immaterial being taking on a material form, with this material form being an incarnation.
