Zygarde (Pokémon): Difference between revisions

* '''Zygarde 10% Forme''' is {{2t|Dragon|Ground}}.

Zygarde 50% Forme was introduced in Pokémon X and Y. Its four alternate forms were announced in the October 2015 issue of [[CoroCoro]] magazine.

Zygarde 50% Forme'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 sea serpent {{wp|Jörmungandr}} (also known as the Midgard Serpent or World Serpent). According to the {{wp|Prose Edda}}, Jörmungandr is punished by Odin by tossing it into the great ocean that encircles {{wp|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 across Zygarde 50% Forme's body are very similar to {{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}}.

Its 10% Forme is based on {{wp|Fenrir}}.

 

Its Complete Forme is based on {{wp|Hel (being)|Hel}}.

 

Jörmungandr, Fenrir, and Hel are all children of the Norse god {{wp|Loki}}.
