Zamazenta may be based on {{wp|King Arthur}}'s shield, known as {{wp|Excalibur#Arthur's_other_weapons|Wynebgwrthucher}}, and on one of the two {{wp|Chimera (mythology)|chimeras}} designed on the golden {{wp|hilt}} of his sword Excalibur. Those two weapons were first named in ''{{wp|Culhwch and Olwen}}'', an Welsh {{wp|Matter of Britain|Arthurian tale}} about how the king slayed the chief of the {{wp|Giants (Welsh folklore)|giants}}. It may also be based on {{wp|Knights of the Round Table}}, characters under Arthur's order said to work with him to protect the {{wp|Great Britain|British}} kingdom. Its relationship with Zacian may reference the relationship between King Arthur and his sister {{wp|Morgan le Fay}}. | Zamazenta may be based on {{wp|King Arthur}}'s shield, known as {{wp|Excalibur#Arthur's_other_weapons|Wynebgwrthucher}}, and on one of the two {{wp|Chimera (mythology)|chimeras}} designed on the golden {{wp|hilt}} of his sword Excalibur.
