Wo-Chien and the other treasures of ruin may be based on the {{wp|Four Perils}} of Chinese mythology. Specifically, Wo-Chien may be based on 檮杌 / 梼杌 ''Táowù'', a creature that shares its name with the now-lost chronicles of the state of {{wp|Chu (state)|Chu}}. Since the 16th century, ''Taowu'' has been reimagined as a prophetic monster that records the evil deeds committed by ancient rulers and punishes wrongdoers from its vision, similar to the tablets that created Wo-Chien and its ability to cause perils. | Wo-Chien and the other treasures of ruin may be based on the {{wp|Four Perils}} of Chinese mythology.
