Zygarde's appearance is based on a serpent in the shape of the letter Z. It may also draw inspiration from both the {{wp|Níðhöggr}} and the {{wp|Jörmungandr}}. Jörmungandr, often written Jormungand, or Jörmungand and also known as the Midgard Serpent (Old Norse: Midgarðsormr), or World Serpent, is a sea serpent, the middle child of the giantess Angrboða and Loki. According to the {{wp|Prose Edda}}, Jörmungandr is punished by Odin by tossing it into the great ocean that encircles Midgard. The serpent grew so large that he was able to surround the earth and grasp his own tail. {{wp|Níðhöggr}} is the serpent from the {{wp|Poetic Edda}} which resided at the bottom of the world tree {{wp|Yggdrasill}} and gnawed at its roots. The patterns spread upon Zygarde's body are very similar to and may be based upon {{wp|ribose}} and {{wp|deoxyribose}} molecules. Its tail is possibly based in shape on {{wp|base pair}} {{wp|codons}}, the essential building blocks of the {{wp|DNA}} {{wp|double helix}}. | Zygarde's appearance is based on a serpent in the shape of the letter Z.
