===Origin===
===Origin===
Ulgamoth is based on a moth, particularly the {{wp|Attacus atlas|Atlas moth}}. Conceptwise, it may be based on a {{wp|solar deity}}, a type of god said to be able to control various aspects of the sun such as sunrise, sunset, eclipses, position, etc. Its wings may be based on the petals of a {{wp|Lilium philadelphicum|tiger lily}}, having the same number of extensions, black spots, and red-orange coloring. The head and collar of Ulgamoth bears a strong resemblance to the headpiece of {{wp|Hathor}}, which depicts the horns of the goddess cradling a disk representing the sun in between.
